Hi Everyone.

Thanks to those who came to Augusts Drupal Pub meet, and for the discussion on the comments. Its good to know that there is interest in keeping the user group and pub meet going.

I'd like to kick of a discussion on what are our future plans for the group, and how we can keep the pub meet going and get more people attending.

One thing that came up was possible moving to a new day, as many people on the group have said that they find the third Tuesday hard to get too. I don't know how to organise polls here however add a vote in the comment on what the best days would be good for people. Also which week (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or last), however for this month it will likely be the third week for me as every other week is a bit hectic at the moment and its a bit late to organise something for this week or next.

I'd also be interested in getting other peoples ideas for the group, and if we want to do other things and not just a pub Meetup, would need help with organising those though. Digital Festival is coming up (in October) and could be fun to try to do something for that (maybe a show and tell?).

Let me know thoughts in the comments. For me the only critical day to avoid is Wednesday to not clash with the farm, though there's a few other events if we switch weeks. Monday is usually a good day right now. Theres a calendar on Wired Sussex of all the other local tech events to help avoid clashes. https://www.wiredsussex.com/events/

Thanks all for the comments.

I think what is best for this month is to have a pub meet on the Third Thursday (19th September)at the Bath Arms and have a discussion on whether we want that be the regular day and what to do next with the group.
