SkillSwaps have traditionally taken the form of "one person stands up
and talks while everyone else listens", though the last one in
September was a bit different (four shorter talks with time for
discussion after each one).

You can certainly come along and take take take; there's no obligation
for you to do a talk at a future event, though we welcome anyone who'd
like to do a talk.

It tends to be that as well, afterwards in the bar.

The Christmas event is, like I said, just a drink-up really, with a
bit of informal chat re. SkillSwap in 2008.

Thanks for the offer!
