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.
