Don't miss out on the All-London Young Members Social, being held on Tuesday 18th April at the Crosse Keys, EC3, from 7pm onwards. This is the first London-wide event, hopefully of many, being organised by CAMRA's new Young Members group. Although it is aimed primarily at CAMRA's younger members, all are welcome to come along and have some fun.

The Crosse Keys, 9 Gracechurch Street, EC3V 0DR, is an imposing Wetherspoons pub, converted from a banking hall which dealt with China. The bank in turn was built on the site of a much older tavern, which was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666. The pub, with it's pale green marble columns and fine white stucco ceiling, small light glass roof domes, and sculpted clock, has an air of elegance and grandeur.
