GeekBrekky
Start your Friday with #GeekBrekky, a very informal meet-up over breakfast on Friday mornings, at the lovely Howst Cafe. Folks usually show up around 9am and stay as long as they like - everyone is welcome. It's a great opportunity to get together, chat about what's new, make new contacts, share ideas, eat great food and drink even better coffee. You don't need to book - you can just turn up!
