Member meetings in the UK

Permalink
Hi

Just wondered if there would be any interested in a monthly or bi-monthly "Concrete5 Club Meeting" such as the ones held by Franz in Portland???
Nothing formal, just a bit of a get together at a pub/cafe/street corner....
Just a thought but might be a way of creating a good concrete5 network here in "sunny" England...
Personally, I'm based down south near Eastbourne/Brighton way, hit me up with your thoughts...

Sounds like an idea. I'm up in the far east of Gloucestershire so Brighton is a bit of a hike but if the suns out it would be a nice thrash down on the bike every so often.

I only just found this post. We are Bournemouth based so would be keen for anything down South.

I have not checked for a while but pretty sure there still is no UK meetup. I think we should organise one?

We'd love to come visit uk this summer. Sure would help if there was some organized group we could work with

Best wishes

Hey

Yeah it would be cool to organise a get together but havent had much response for down south as you can see.
I figured on Brighton as it was a bit of a "landmark" but maybe this is a little too "down south".
Now I'm no programmer, by any means, but due to the brilliance that is Concrete5, I have managed to build quite a lot of sites that I'm proud of :)
I just thought it would be cool to get a wider variety of abilities in one place in an informal manner. I'd be happy to discuss this further with anyone wanting to get involved. I'll promote the possibility a little harder through social media etc and see if I get more interest.

I really feel like there's an awful lot of concrete5 stuff going on in the UK but we're not doing a great job organizing it. Either we need to make a UK section here, or someone in the UK needs to take the reigns and build their own community site like katz has done for Japan.

I can tell you from my own email and skype list, there a lot of shops based out of the UK doing concrete5 work, they're just not communicating.

As I write this I think I'm deciding we need to go out of our way to solve this here.

Hey Franz

Ok so would you be happy for me to set up a concrete5.co.uk site and make a start?
What's the "protocol" for this set up? Feel free to pm me details of how you'd prefer to work things.
