UK Oxford Meetup No. 3

Hi guys, So as you may know, meetup no. 2 went extremely well, and there is another forum thread that many of you have probably seen. So I'm happy to be rolling out with the next meetup, which will be our third meetup. I'm happy with the progress we've made so far with these meetups, however I would appreciate a few more members and I do urge everyone who can to join in! In the past two meetups, we have had very valuable conversations and shared interesting experiences between ourselves. We also have a few people over from the states talking with us via Google Hangouts. So here I am organising the next meetup. So to avoid missing people, I have set up a doodle so you guys can choose the date as well. I can make any of the days listed, so that will be no problem for me. I think that this system is better than picking a regular date that some members can't attend. This way, everyone gets to choose a date, and I'll pick the one which most are happy about. So here is the link to choose a date for yourself: http://doodle.com/9y7e9w7nfq979496 I do hope as many of you can join into our meetups. I would love to get to know you, and I'm sure that other attendees would as well. Thanks in advance

The link didn't work for me. It's a super fun meetup and I will come whenever you have it.

That's weird. I'll have a look at that and see if I can fix it. However, I know that you are a Google Hangouts person anyway.

To me, this link works fine and others have posted their date and time so i guess it's working correctly. Maybe it due to you being in a different country to me.

I am too concerned about the meetup date. It hasn't been confirmed yet, but I'm pretty sure its going to be Wednesday 28th November. I am wrapping up the poll in 24 hours, and then the date is confirmed! Here is the other forum post I made warning people about the poll closing: http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?fid=E52B6EAB9582D0BCC93CE55&tid=E52B6EAB9582D0BCC93CE55

Great stuff, planning the journey now. Out of interest (and to plan my journey home!) what time did the last meetup go on until? Thanks.

About 2 hours. Although, we do often spill over a bit to 2 and a half hours. Just to give you a quick note, it'll take an half and a half on the train to get to Oxford from Cardiff. I don't know if you'll find that useful, but it's a lot quicker than by car!

Hi fellow users of Buzztouch, I'm organising those meetups again! This will be the first one of 2013, and only the fourth one of all. I have all the others very enjoyable. Hopefully I'll gather together a few more people because numbers are low currently. If you can make it, please do make a special effort because it'll make the meetup even better! So I have a few dates for you to decide for our next meeting. There's a doodle link below, and I would prefer it if you used that, but you can also just reply to this thread as well. Doodle Poll: http://doodle.com/nnqy7mzri8r2efca Here are the available dates anyway: - Monday 18th February - 16:00 - Tuesday 19th February - 16:00 - Wednesday 20th February - 16:00 - Monday 25th February - 16:00 - Tuesday 26th February - 16:00 - Wednesday 27th February - 16:00 Also, if you're somewhere else in the world, I can invite a few on a Google Hangouts event, or you can watch it as a live stream off YouTube. If you want to view recordings of our old meetups, and find out more, please visit this site I've made: http://www.buzztouchoxford.com

The decision poll has now ended and I have picked a date and time. I was meant to tell you this one week ago, so I do apologise if this is late notice. Here are the full details: Date: Tuesday 7th May 2013 Time: 16:00 (4PM) until 18:00 (6PM) [we always spill over by about fifteen minutes] Location: Berlitz Language Centre Oxford 131 High Street Oxford OX1 4DH (near Carfax tower - opposite Covered Market - down alley to a pub named "Chequers") Please do try and make the trip to Oxford. Over the last few meets, it has been very good and I have certainly learnt much from it. It's all free and everyone is welcome (member or non-member). I will be covering this on Google Hangouts, however, I will only invite people who can't attend this meet, due to being long distances away. Google Hangouts is not an alternative to attending the meet. I really do look forward to seeing as much of you there. As I said before, please try and make the meet, because it makes it all the better! Please keep my contact details, so if you need to find us, then you know who to contact:

Hi all, I know it's too early to think of Christmas right now, but I'm planning the next Buzztouch meetup which will be the last of the year. There is a shortage of people wanting to attend this one, so I would be good if you could attend too, if possible. So it's the usual drill, I'll tell you what the details are: Location: Berlitz Langauge Centre 131 High Street Oxford OX1 4DH (same as BuzzDay) Date + Time: Thursday 28th November 16:00 - 18:00 (with a pub stop) So I hope to quickly recap over BuzzDay and have a nice social gathering. The more people we get, the less we have to hear about David's new yacht club in London. Hope to see you there, Thomas Boyd Annandale Apps http://www.buzztouchoxford.com

Hi all, I'm sure you know the regular Oxford meetups. If you don't, it is a great way to share knowledge, problems and issues with each other. It's like the forums but extended into reality. I have had tremendous fun over the last year doing this and I hope my attendees have also had fun too. I have learnt tonnes of new knowledge, and I'm not exactly a beginner. Everyone is welcome to attend, and its free of charge. Even the tea and coffee is free! If you're a guest, member, beginner or expert, you are all welcome to come along. Often I have learnt a lot from beginners, because I get fresh ideas. I have organised a meeting on the last Thursday of the month. So here are the next three dates: 30th January 2014 27th February 2014 27th March 2014 16:00 until 18:00 However we do tend to add some extra time with a pub stop after the meeting. I won't confirm dates beyond this, however it gives you plenty of notice for upcoming meetings. Here's the venue location: Berlitz Language Centre 131 High Street Oxford OX1 4DH During the next meetup (Jan), I will be announcing some more information on the big autumn event. I hope to see you attending! Thomas Boyd Buzztouch Oxford organiser http://www.buzztouchoxford.com PS. If you're further north of Oxford, I will be visiting Birmingham and Edinburgh shortly. Anyone want to meet there? However these will be one-off meetings, and not regular.
