+
+The August 2024 meeting of LRUG will be on Monday the 12th of August, from 6:00pm
+to 8:00pm (meeting starts at 6:30pm).
+
+This time we're being hosted by the lovely folk at
+[the Electric Car Scheme](https://www.electriccarscheme.com/careers) in [their offices][ecs-venue], near Harlington & Hayes Elizabeth line station. They've also graciously agreed to provide pizza and beverages. [Full venue and registration details are given
+below](#august24registration).
+
+## Agenda
+
+### Turn Left for Bridgetown: An overview of a next-generation static(ish) site generator
+
+[Ayush](https://ruby.social/@ayush) says:
+
+> Bridgetown is a modern progressive site generator with Jekyll ancestry. Allow me to be your guide as I take you on a whistle-stop tour of its biggest and best features; and show you how it brings Ruby-powered site generation into 2024.
+
+
+## Afterwards
+
+After the talks are finished, and we've tidied up the venue a bit, we head over
+to a local pub for some food and drinks and the opportunity to chat with each
+other.
+
+Of course, even though this is the socialising part and seems more
+informal, please remember that still we consider it to be a part of the
+meeting and covered by our [code of conduct](http://readme.lrug.org/#code-of-conduct).
+
