I went along to the inaugural Birmingham Social Media Café meet-up  this morning. I had a great time! Initially, I was a little worried about it being a little cliquey, but my apprehensions were laid to rest as soon as I walked in.

Since it was the first meet there was no agenda, just the opportunity to informally chat and hobnob with whomever you bumped into.

I had a lovely chat with quite a few people, I really enjoyed catching up and sharing Japan stories with Keri Davis, who is a scriptwriter  for the Archers. I finally met Nick Booth in the flesh- and I must report he looks nothing like his avatar, friendlier I’d say. I also enjoyed talking to Tobby from Sleepy Dog- and his infectious enthusiasm for all things social web.

Nice one to Jo Geary for setting it all up and Birmingham Post for paying for the tea!
I think the intention is that the meets happen monthly, and I definitely will be going again! I’d like more lady web heads to please come along!
