Austin Powers meets trefbash

This is a particularly special trefbash as it is number ten. It's seems only yesterday when I held the first one at the Betjeman Arms in St Pancras. That year the snow that blanketed London hit attendance and we had to try and spend the generously donated kitty somehow which we did by drinking the bar out of champagne. In year 3 trefbash moved to the fantastic venue that is the Phoenix Arts Club where it has been ever since.

This year the theme is Austin Powers. Yea baby. You are encouraged to enter into the spirit - if you don't we will as usual have some props. Partners are very much invited - we are looking for people wanting to dance, baby.

The objective of the evening is purely to have fun. Forget the office forget the network, basically forget work. We are here for out and out enjoyment. Champagne, great food and great music with dancing to Jeff Brown's amazing band. This is not your normal industry event. This is #TREFBASH10.

Because I'm anticipating high demand attendees need to be registered. No hangers on. You need to be in the IXP peering or ITSP communities (there is a big overlap) or you need to be personally invited.

We have as usual some great supporters. Lonap and Netaxis Solutions together with Magrathea, Gamma, Fuse2 and Ribbon are on board with more to come. We couldn't do it without them so a big thank you to all concerned.
