I've just moved to the area, is anyone up for a meetup at the end of the month?

A bit late for this (only 6

A bit late for this (only 6 months...) but if you're still in the area maybe we could try to organise something by early next year. I'm sure I could get 3-5 people... Let me know.

I should still be here

I should still be here through February at least.

Early next year sounds good, there's probably 3 or 4 in my current workplace that would come along as well.

January 2018

Oh great, shall we try then January 2018? Getting around 10 people would be awesome.

I'll write to the people I know and will ask them if they could host it in their offices (not sure about this) based in Jewellery Quarter. Any chance of asking the same thing on your side?

Thanks.

No chance of hosting here

No chance of hosting here (Police)

But January sounds good. I'd suggest one evening the second week?

Cool

Nowhere safer than there :-)

That's fine, I just asked. Second week sounds good to me albeit it'll depend on the office availability.
I will update here when I know more.

Thanks.

Confirmed, now date and time

Hi,

They just confirmed that they're happy to host on their premises (yay!). I can do Thursdays (preferred) or Fridays in the evening.

How does 11th or 18th January 2018 sounds to you and your colleagues? Also, in terms of time, would 6pm-ish be ok? I could do pretty much any time but I guess most people finish around 5pm. The place is in B18 6NG postcode, very close to the Jewellery Quarter train station and close to city centre too.

I guess we can aim for a 1-2h sort of meet up with some talks, demos. Open to any ideas.

Let me know, thanks!

I'll go with 11th (second week) at 6pm

I'll go with 11th (second week) at 6pm. Let's get the ball rolling and if we need to adjust the time we can do it.
I'll organise the event and register it in d.org and post the link here too.

Thanks.

Thanks for getting the ball rolling!

I'll get my colleagues on board and hopefully have some new juniors to bring along by then.

Will have a think about interesting topics

Great

Great, remember to register as I've limited the number of spaces to 15. If we get a good turnaround I could potentially get them to share a bigger part of their office but for now we'll be taking their meeting room, which should be enough for 15 people.

I also included a link to a google sheet to add / think of topics.
Thanks!
