You may not have noticed, but the London Perl Workshop is happening later this month (Saturday 25th November). It's a free-to-attend community event: organised by members of the community, for the community, and made possible by sponsorship from companies in our community.

Reinforcing the community theme, we're trying an experiment this year: crowd-sourcing bakes from attendees for one of the coffee breaks. If you're an experienced baker, an occasional dabbler (like myself), or even a complete neophyte looking for a reason to start, why not give it a go?

We've got 10 bakers, each of whom will bring some kind of bake. Still space for a few more, if you want to join us! Nut-free please.

You don't need to be an experienced baker. We can provide a recipe, though googling "foolproof [thing] recipe" will do the job. And you've got time to practice.

If you're happy to help out, just drop me a line please, so I can coordinate: neil at bowers dot com.
