This is the page for WordCamp UK related social events.

Birmingham bloggers

Informal gathering running up to WordCamp UK for Birmingham based bloggers.

Date: Monday 23rd June

Time: 6ish onwards - "the evening"

Venue: Flapper and Firkin , Kingston Row, Birmingham

More details and linkage here.


Might be easiest to encourage new/interested people to come along to the June or July Birmingham Bloggers' meet-up? We're a bit rubbish at setting dates (and we deliberately mix up the venues), but regularly have one once a month. Just set up paradisecircus.com to try to help the organisation… June's would probably be best and would be around the 25-30th I suspect. — Jon Bounds

Friday informal

Informal meeting

Date: 18 July 2008

Time: Booked Privately From 8pm

Venue: Penny Blacks, The Mailbox, Birmingham


Just very informal drop-in, have planed that around 50 people may attend?

Penny Blacks is a nice bar in the Mailbox development beside the canals (about 5 mins from venue, nearer to nitenite hotel if that's where people are staying), not to formal but very good selection of beers and a relaxed atmosphere.

Have provisionally booked a private area at this bar from 8pm onwards. We can have food buffet style (it's very good, and varied) if we want and the bar can also arrange a tab for our party if we have money to do so.

I've been to many events here before, the BBC is nearby and use it a lot, and have always been impressed.
