Local Event: West Midlands UK

[Gouldmine]

Hi All,

I'm based in south Shropshire in easy commute to Telford, Wolverhampton or Birmingham. I could also do Manchester or Bristol at a push.

Anyone know of any local events in these areas?

If not perhaps we could set one up. I know of at least 1 other person in the Birmingham area that would be interested.

Cheers

Martin

I should add that I am not a newbie and I would class myself as intermediate. I would be happy if the events were for those having success or are relatively new.

Your thoughts and suggestions are most welcome...

Hi Gouldmine,

I've been a silent member for some time. I'm based in bristol. I would be interested in this event, if ever set up.

Used to organise Midlands Warriors but dwindling numbers meant I stopped running it a long time ago.

Other threads floating around here with Birmingham / West Midlands meets, again following the same route so it seems.

If you want something doing, best to do it yourself:
- define the group on here and meetup.com to increase reach
- set a first date, time, location

Until someone does that, nothing will get off the ground I'm afraid.

[mjbmedia]

Sorry I don't understand what they are so can't help.

We do a Birmingham meetup now and again but nothing regular. Problem is that no one else took initiative and I do not always have the time/motivation to organise it.

If you are motivated lets talk and i can activate the lists...

[mjbmedia]

In the US, theres a site called Manta that lists businesses and the owners name, employees numbers etc etc, it does the UK too to a lesser extent as I think the businesses have to go in and fill the details (i dont know though) , anyone know such a site for the UK that would have more complete records for the UK.

also in the USA SRDS.com is a database of businesses mainly for direct mail , is there such a site in the UK

[mjbmedia]

Hi Manta is a site that lists businesses details ie owners name employees etc certainly good for US,, UK wise its not too complete.

SRDS is a database for US businesses, looking for UK version

quite a few events in march i think, we should get there!!!! will be good tbh!

[skagenweb]

I live off John Bright St in Birmingham and would love to meet some of you guys sometime. Any of you ever go to The Victoria pub?

[jlandells]

Worcester would be good for me, too - although I'm out of the country on business Monday-Friday most weeks so would prefer a weekend...

@mjbmedia - Check out Experian - they have some pretty good business data services which I've used in the past.

[Charanjit]

nice to see so many local people, I would be in .

[skagenweb]

Or what about Barking Kudu? I am down there most Friday nights if any of you guys wanna swing by and say hi.

[Venturetothetop]

Dont want to jump this thread - but Birmingham has its own group and since so many of us are from Birmingham lets get this show on the road.

Birmingham Entrepreneurs meetup

I can book a private room in Bacchus bar (close to train, buses and slap bang in the centre) most days of the week and even weekend. I believe a weekday evening works best for most people. So let me know the general consensus of a good day and i'll get this baby booked.

[Gouldmine]

I have setup a FB group if that helps us to communicate as a group and arrange meetings. http://www.facebook.com/groups/278261738908536/

[AGP]

I would be interested in meeting up im in birmingham but im willing to travel.

You mentioned Worcester, The pear tree in country hotel, WR3 8SY, is worth a look 2 mins from the M5

[AnandPan]

hello,

I am based in Leicester and would certainly be interested in meeting up too.

If Leicester is any good, maybe I could see if there is a suitable venue here?

Look forward to hearing from fellow members on this.

Thanks
Anand

[Gouldmine]

Hey AGP & Anand, the meeting will be held sometime in the second half of March in Birmingham. Dee (VentureToTheTop) will post details shortly.

[seo-it-right]
