Paul Henderson

Sorry it’s been a bit quiet around here, one thing I have been up to is helping to organise the first (of many hopefully) Coventry & Warwickshire Social Media Cafes.

As with many things, it started with a tweet with another Paul (Squires) who I met at the Birmingham Social Media Cafe. We both found ourselves on the train going to the BSMC and thought, why can’t we have one closer to home and the CWSMC was born.

With just over a week to go, we’ve got:

• A venue, the Court Street Creative Arches in Leamington Spa

• A sponsor for the all important coffees, Screen WM

• Wifi courtesy of a WiMax connection put in be Konnex networks (did you know Warwick and Leamington are one of the first places in the UK to get WiMax ? I didn’t think you did)

All we need are some people…actually we’ve got a healthy bunch of early adopters signed-up already, but if you’re around near the station in Leamington next Friday 18th Sept from 10am-12pm – pop down and have a coffee and chat about anything digital and social media, with other interested locals – you might be surprised who you meet.

You can sign-up beforehand which would help us with numbers and see if there is anyone you especially want to meet up with.

Thanks also to Ray Smith at Warwick District Council and Sarah Allen for all their hard work in making it happen so far!

There is a video of Ray talking about the Creative Arches on the CWSMC website.
