Impromptu Tweetup
UPDATE: We're opening it up to a greater audience. So even if you're not tech/web related, feel free to come along anyway.
Yesterday whilst I was in the office (also known as The Vortex), I was reading my Twitter stream — as I so often do — and I came across this tweet from @bostinbloke.
As the office is not far away from where he was, I invited him over for a cup of tea.
To my surprise, just moments later, I got a tweet from @hollie_matthews — another Oldbury native.
To cut a long story short, this started a day-long conversation which resulted in our founding a new #tweetup and our first get-together is next Thursday.
Here's the full run-down:
9.45am Thursday 3rd December 2009 @ Network Si
3 Demuth Way
Oldbury
West Midlands
B69 4LT
Entrance is free, but we only have about 25 spaces so leave a comment or tweet me and I'll let you know if you can come along.
As this is the first meetup, we'll be starting with tea and hopefully biscuits :D and just see what everyone wants to do. Nothing too formal, just a bit of networking with a heavy focus on tech and web.
Let's see how it evolves! :)

I would love to know how yours goes. Maybe this could be the start of a worldwide phenomenon!
We usually have a loose weekly discussion topic. Many of our discussions hover around social media and the state of our region. They tend to be quite candid, due to the intimate nature of the event.
We are very much looking forward to meeting you tomorrow for our informal local Oldbury/West Brom tweet up.
We have an open mind here at Network Si and value Partnerships greatly we look forward to the tweet up.
We will have some gadgets on display also.
