The Earthlings Birthday Meal 2012 will be held on Saturday 11th February 2012.

This will be the 14th birthday, the 11th birthday meal.

Once again there's an England Rugby match that day.

Unless anyone has any better suggestions we'll meet at: Pontefract Castle on Wigmore Street (W1U 1QB) from 6pm. Perhaps we could try ringing them to find out if the downstairs area will be open.

Due to the demise of Cafe Uno we went to ASK last year (56/60 Wigmore Street, London W1U 2RZ Tel: 0207 224 3484). The world didn't end, so ASK presumably works as a plan. There is a potential alternative venue: ASK, 121/125 Park Street, London, W1K 7JA, Tel: 0207 495 7760. Due to its close proximity to the pub I have booked 56/60 Wigmore Street for 18 people at 8pm, under the name Stephen White.
