IRCs are free (but you have to buy your own drinks) and open to anyone interested: just turn up, no need to book. Internet Reality Check (not to be confused with Internet Relay Chat) is designed so that members of the 'net community can meet and exchange the small amount of very important information which is not suitable for digital transmission. ;-)
