It starts at 2:00 pm (Eastern US time - usually 7 pm London time) and continues until everybody is done. The zoom is usually opens early for members who want in early. And people can drop in anytime and stay as long as they wish. Pub Crawl is a Guild community event where all Guild members and their guests are invited to drop in and take part in any discussions that are planned or just share any questions or successes you have had recently. The Pub Crawl is a social gathering. There is no formal presentation. And what happens at Pub Crawl usually stays at Pub Crawl. Members are encouraged to bring guests. Many of the Guests have become members.
