Looking around at the Skeptics in the Pub groups it’s pretty obvious that there’s no group in the middle of the South of England.
There are groups meeting regularly in London, Bristol and Oxford but nothing in the middle of the South. This area of the country is a skeptical vacuum just begging to be filled with insightful and informed comment from those driven by science, reason and critical thinking.
If you live in Hampshire and the surrounding area in or near places such as Basingstoke, Winchester, Southampton, Portsmouth, Guildford, Farnborough, Reading, Newbury, Andover or Salisbury and you would like to join a Skeptics in the Pub group that potentially could move along the M3 corridor for meetings, please let us know by showing your interest in the comments. Or you can let us know via email by using the contact us form at the top of the page.
We already have some awesome skeptical luminaries who have offered to speak. So we need to generate as much interest as possible in order to plug the hole in the dyke of reason and do something to hold back the flood of woo washing over us.
Also, if you do know of a small skeptical group or happen to be a member of one in the South please let us know so we can get in touch with them.

Lets keep going guys. I’m keeping track of the people who are interested in starting a SitP and when we’ve worked out some of the details and organisation we’re going to need some help. So I’ll be asking those interested if they can give us a hand.
Thanks !
I think a skeptics in the pub meeting sounds like a great night out.

Hi, I live in Whitehill, Bordon and work in Church Crookham. A Hampshire sceptics in the pub sounds like a fantastic idea.
