At my current assignment I'm in the process of starting a brown-bag study group.
Here's the announcement I sent out to all the relevant parties I could think of at my work.
********************************************************
Next Thursday (May 17th) we’re kicking off a lunch time study group for anyone who is interested.
We’re going to be starting with “The Pragmatic Programmer: from journeyman to master” by Andrew Hunt and David Thomas.
This is one of those books that seems to stay at the top of the industry “must read” lists, (right there next to “mythical man month”).
So if you’ve always wanted to read this book, and needed a good excuse, show up next Thursday in the <our lunch room> with your lunch, and we’ll go from there.

Ps, we recommend you obtain and bring your copy of TPP to this kickoff event.

This is giving me a week to figure out how to facilitate an in house study group. Has anyone else had any experience with starting something like this?
Any pitfalls I should watch out for?
