lemur_catta and I attended a meeting of the local, not yet named, chapter of the Anthony Powell Society. (This is the nearest to fandom I get. We do not write fanfic - as far as I know - and the thought of Widmerpool/LeBas slash makes my eyeballs explode).
The conversation was incredibly wide ranging. Topics included languages spoken in the Amur river valley, the 16th century Korean navy, what might have happened if the Duke of Alba's tercios had had to fight the Japanese, the 18th century British navy, how army commissions worked before the abolition of purchase, flight simulators, Stanley Fish and even, on rare occasions, Anthony Powell.
We did compile a more or less inclusive list of pubs and night clubs in Dance and even (at least I did being a former denizen of that part of London) to identify the pubs involved in the final demise of X.Trapnel with possible 'real life' pubs in the area.
All in all, a fun evening.
