WordCamp UK presentation at London Bloggers

I gave a presentation on WordCamp UK last night at the June meeting of London Bloggers.

The presentation [pdf] seemed to go down postively at the well attended meeting at The Coach and Horses in Soho.

Afterwards Alexandra, Andy, Tim and myself made a detailed examination of the various beverages available from behind the bar from the vantage point of the Lego-like seating outside the pub.

Coach and bloggers

Braved the inclement weather last night to attend the April London Bloggers gathering.

Another good night at the West End’s glamorous Coach and Horses.

Amongst those I met were Alexandra Mitchell, Mecca Ibrahim, Andy Roberts, Tim Dickinson and event organiser Andy Bargery.

The next meeting is 27 May 2008 - I’ll be there!

Bloggers at the Coach and Horses

Went to my first London Bloggers meeting last night.

I was a bit late, due to a previous meeting, however the get together proved to be a sociable and worthwhile event, held in the legendary Coach and Horses in Soho.

Will definitely be attending again!
