The Earthlings Birthday Meal 2013 will be held on Saturday 9th February 2013.

This will be the 15th birthday, the 12th birthday meal.

There's no England Rugby match that day (it's the Sunday, in Dublin).

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.

We've been to ASK for a couple of years (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.

*Note, this has not yet been booked. If it's getting close to the time, please prod Ganesh or book it yourself!*
