How will I know who you lot are?

Shall I wear a carnation shaped like a con-rod in the approved style?

I seem to be wearing a PH fleece today, so look out for the ubiquitous smiley.

For those unable to make it, a quick recap of some of the things discussed

February: Busy one - intro from all attending and lots of discussion around the internet, social sites, portals etc.

March: This became a telecoms month. Discussions at various levels from PABX stuff through to the setting up of a mobile phone company.

April: Bit of car/internet stuff from me and lots of discussion about maser-spyder's experiences of importing from China and trading in UK and Europe. Lots of enthusiasm and discussion around the demand for LittleGreenFairy's cakes and how to meet it and build a brand around it.

That's a very potted history of some of the discussions and hopefully shows the diversity of what gets talked about.

Personally, I've found it all fascinating, even when a lot of it is totally out of my area of knowledge, experience or expertise!

Anyone up for Tuesday?

[PetrolTed]

Nice one. Usual time, usual place. All welcome.

[PetrolTed]

Excellent. Good to see returnees

[PetrolTed]

Nice one. Halfway House, Minchinhampton 8pm+

[PetrolTed]

Any more for any more?

[PetrolTed]

Looks like there's about half of a dozen of us then.

[PetrolTed]

Halfway House, Minchinhampton 8pm+

[PetrolTed]

Good crowd tonight

I think a more practical idea would be to see how much interest there is for an Exeter meet and to organise one for locals. Attendance is pretty fluid for events like this and the nearer to home it is for people, the more likely they are to attend on a regular basis.

[PetrolTed]

Yep, Tuesday 7th.

[PetrolTed]

Usual time, usual place this week.

8pm, Halfway House, Minchinhampton.

[PetrolTed]

Any more?

I'm tempted to postpone until next month. I've got some stuff I need to nail before the end of the week and need a few nights at the code-face.

[PetrolTed]

Next week is good for me.

[PetrolTed]

Cool, let's do it next week.

[PetrolTed]

You'd be very welcome Jonty.

It's all informal - more the merrier etc.

8pm next Tuesday.

As an additional means of communication Chris has set up a Google Group for us. There are a couple of attendees who aren't PHers (and I might have found another) so it could be a useful means of notifying of last minute changes etc.

Please don't hold back. Even if you are just considering coming along some time then please join up.

Meetings are a simple format - we sup and chew the cud about current challenges and ideas. No formality whatsoever and there's no pressure to actively contribute unless you want some input or have some to give.

[PetrolTed]

Yes. Just teething issues with the Google Group. I think Chris was just experimenting with the calendar function.

TUESDAY
HALFWAY HOUSE, MINCHINHAMPTON
8PM
