We had a fantastic turnout for our first meetup of 2013 and some great suggestions for future events which we will be implementing from February onwards.

First off a big thanks to Campaign Monitor for sponsoring our event and providing the tea, coffee and pizza which Yorks Bakery Cafe delivered to their usual superb standard.

December 2012 Meetup: 13th, 6:30-9pm, Yorks Bakery Cafe

December’s Birmingham WordPress Meetup takes place on Thursday, December 13 from 6.30pm at  Yorks Bakery Cafe, 1-3 Newhall Street, Birmingham, B3 3NH (@YorksBakeryCafe).

If you fancy coming along, let us know at our Meetup page.

The meetup is organised by Daniel Newns, Andy Yates and Nathan Roberts.  We have a variety of members ranging from people who “what to find out what this WordPress thing is”, to people who run WordPress based websites, to people who design and build sites for their clients all day every day.

We will be having a show and tell session from 7:15.  So if you run a WordPress website you’d like to show off or have been working on a plugin and would like to do a 10-15 minute session on how you use WordPress we’d love to hear from you.  This is open to anyone attending, no matter what your skill level is with WordPress.

Pizza Time

We also encourage using the meetup as an open forum.  If you’re having a problem with your site bring your laptop along as it’s a great place to get some help from people who use WordPress day in day out – and we promise they won’t get too technical (because if they do they know they wont get any pizza, which was kindly provided by our sponsor Campaign Monitor at our November meetup).

If you have any suggestions for improving the meetup please comment here or tweet us @WPBhamUK.
