User group in W Midlands

Any interest in a user group in the W Midlands? Ideally Halesowen/west side of Birmingham?

My RP is due in 4 weeks, RS says!

-terry

I would like to see one in the Hereford area!

(... and don't say "Where's that?" either! )

I see there is one near Oxford, which is where I used to live, but it is a bit too far away now!

RS hasn't said anything to me yet, unfortunately.

would love to arrange a Meat PI or PI meeting hehe hows about the black horse at illey its not far from motorway for most midlanders so let me know and lets see whos out there

we can discuss all things pi good and bad and maybe support or ask questions see if people are helpfull about things self help is good.

Count me in if you're having a meet, I'm in Redditch, so not too far from Halesowen.

hi jock i was hoping for a few people were just three so far might give it till end of June i know RS and Farnell both are promising delivery of ordered Pis before end of June then we should hopefully have about 10 people i hope to start a meaning full meeting and a friendly chat about all things Pi.

Looks like it's not a big fan base in the area? Yes, good idea to wait and let's see who else comes out of the woodwork. Thexman, you may have to temper your hopes - I think even 5 would be a good start.

Suggest the other Black Horse just beyond the under-construction Shell station on the A456 down from Junction 3 - a bit easier to find for those less familiar with the area. Or is that place too busy?

nope that was the black horse i was thinking of i always called it illy lol i used to take my Kit Car there to show it off with the manufacturer ah the good old days but yes the black horse on the A456 is a good place to make a meet spot for Pi lovers.

thanks

Based in Stourbridge, so could also make a Halesowen area meet.

Great more the merrier will start to arrange something for end of June time

Hi folks,

First post on here so hi everyone

I am based right in the centre of Birmingham, so easy access to the motorway network, and the RS depo is not too far away either which is rather useful.

I already have my Pi, and am new to all things electronic, but no stranger to computers (IT Systems Administrator by trade for 8 years, now an IT Development Manager).

Would be good to meet up with some like minded people who can help me learn more, and hopefully i can reciprocate on the IT side of things

total 5 so far lets hope by the second week in july were a few more then we can organise a Pi and mash evening at the pub.

I would be up for it as well.

My pi arrived. Got it running and accessed remotely from my PC (no network point near the tv) so quite pleased. Although now it's "OK, got a slowish desktop running. Now what next..."

Second week of July sounds good - how about Thursday 12th say 7.30pm at the Black Horse?

Funny how a software person sees the pi as electronic - I'm getting used to the software side of things!

Thursday the 12th i cannot make as i am on Olympic duty in London .. anyone for water Polo seams my company has the run and check its works duty all that week Prior to the Olympics starting typical i know one thing i am gonna get my photo on the Gold medal stand there. he-he luxury of working for the Event is suppose.

if we can make it the week after ill bring along some Yoctopuce.com cases for people to look at and buy if there interested doing my bit for the community

let me know how many people and whether the 19,20th of July suites people.

Unfortunately I can't do those dates, then I'm away for a while. Next free week is week starting 30 Aug. But I suspect no date may fit everyone!

Sorry, meant week starting 30 July. Are people free on 30 July, or 1 Aug, or 3 Aug?
