Update: We've had to take the tough decision to call it off, because the low uptake from both sponsors and guests means that if we went ahead, ORG would be at risk of making a significant financial loss.
We do however have two alternative nights out for you. Hopefully you'll be able to make at least one of them, so we can celebrate the festive season together and look forward to a fab year ahead for ORG.
First, ORG is a co-host for the Privacy and Civil Liberties Community Christmas Party, which you are all cordially invited to. It will be at The 'Quad Bar' of the London School of Economics' "Three Tuns Pub", Houghton Street, London, WC2A 2AE on Thursday 11 December from 1800 to 2300. RSVP to gus at privacy dot org.
Second, the ORG staff will be delighted to meet supporters who are still up for an Xmas drink on Saturday 20 December from 1930 at our local, which is The Duke - http://www.dukepub.co.uk/ - 7 Roger Street, London, WC1N 2PB. Mail supporters at openrightsgroup dot org if you're coming so we can me sure there's enough space.
This year's Xmas party will be a huge big thank you to the UK digital rights community, who generously fund and drive our work along. At the end of 2008, ORG is bigger and better than ever and looking forward to much more campaigning and community building in 2009.
We’ve got a proper London pub and can promise a rousing evening, including Copyfighters (with some extra special guests), a raffle, werewolf and - fingers crossed - a free drink or two. It will be both a festive celebration plus your chance to buy our outgoing Executive Director a drink and - toes crossed - meet Becky’s replacement. Sign up now for your tickets to avoid disappointment! And if you have suggestions for more party games then get in touch.
We're limiting tickets to paid up ORG supporters, who can bring one guest each, although please note guests may be squeezed (gently) for donations! Please reserve two tickets if you're bringing a buddy.
PS If you don't know your Supporter ID (which we use to keep track of donations) then email supporters at openrightsgroup dot org and we'll let you know.

Via Michelin | GoogleThe Open Rights Group is a grassroots technology organisation which exists to protect civil liberties wherever they are threatened by the poor implementation and regulation of digital technology. We call these rights our “digital rights”.
In 2005, a community of 1,000 digital rights enthusiasts came together to create the Open Rights Group. Since then, ORG has spoken out on copyright term extension, DRM and the introduction of electronic voting in the UK. We have informed the debate on data protection, freedom of information, data retention and the surveillance state.
These are issues that affect all of us. Together, our community, which includes some of the UK’s most renowned technology experts, works hard to raise awareness about them. If these are issues that you care about, become part of our community and support the Open Rights Group today.
