Sunday and Monday evenings £12.00 per head for an all inclusive meal with Indian and Thai cuisine (normal price £14.50).

“Most social media users are very outgoing and appreciate an opportunity to get together with like-minded people, particularly when there’s good food, drink and music included,” said Jonathan Pollinger of social media consultancy Intranet Future, who is organising the event.
“This isn’t a networking evening but simply a chance to meet socially, chat and enjoy the food and the music. We all spend a lot of time in the virtual world on Twitter, Google+ and Facebook, and it’s important to take time away from our screens to meet people face to face.
“Social media is a wonderful way to share information quickly but it can’t replace the enjoyment we get from live music and a good meal with friends.”
The dinner takes place at Pepper Crescent, 12 Royal Crescent, Cheltenham on Thursday 26th July and runs from 7pm to 11pm. Tickets cost £20 and must be purchased in advance.
