Meeting
Come and celebrate three years of the ‘Pack! Saturday 11th October at the Old Joint Stock. Aside from the birthday shenanigans, there’ll also be the normal mix of web-related talk: from social networks to development frameworks to twitter etiquette. The theme for this month is “Where next?”, so bring your ideas for the ‘Pack and the ‘net in general.
Post pub we’ll be moving on for a meal, suggest your preference in the
forum.

great the Midlands web scene is…
