Well, it's only one bus from work and I can be there for about 18:00, so I don't think that's great a problem. I heard there are some things going on around the Northern Quater.
Apparently I've done this already so I must have been this far before. Looking at the time, I think I could make it but I don't think there's anything worse than turning up after everyone else!
I'm 19 so I don't think I will have MUCH trouble regarding that. It depends if an over-21 or 25 bar is used. I think maybe MadLab is the place I was talking about above.
Again, much appreciation for your advice and taking the time to help me out. I can't thank you enough.
- sophie_shoes 15y ago+1 for GeekUp - I lived in Manchester for a while and went through a bit of what you did until I discovered the thriving user group culture among the Northern Geeks; some are listed on this page: http://www.manchesterdda.com/usergroups/ http://www.manchesterdda.com/usergroups/ I would very highly recommend the NW Ruby user group, even if your not a Rails dev (I'm not!), they were a really friendly bunch the couple of times I turned up. GeekUp also has a mailing list, join it! There's a lot of inane chat but also regular announcements about tech-related stuff going on in the area - that's how I got to hear Richard Stallman giving a talk at the University - and even the inane chat will help you get to know some of the personalities so it might be a bit easier to overcome that shyness when you meet them in person. Oh, and the Manchester Geek Nights organized by Thoughtworks seemed pretty good, free to attend and a good mixture of some tech talk and socializing: http://www.superdevs.com/groups/manchester-geek-nights http://www.superdevs.com/groups/manchester-geek-nights Good luck!
