Every second Saturday of the month, the Multipack meets at the Old Joint Stock pub in the centre of Birmingham to discuss everything web in a social and relaxed atmosphere.
Occasionally we like to see what else the West Midlands has to offer and we will venture out of the United Kingdom’s second city in search of more greener pastures.
From time to time, we'll organize something a bit different. You can find out more about our special events in our “Presents” section.

We will be redesiging the Multipack website! It’s served us well for the last 18 months or so but its time to move on to the next level and make the website a hub for all - existing members and new visitors. We will be taking over the offices of One Black Bear in the Custard Factory for a whole day, planning tasks first thing in the morning, coding and designing through the day for a relaunch on the Monday morning (we need to test these enhancements, hence the delay in launching). If you’re keen to attend, bring your kit (laptop or Mac) and some drink - we’ll supply some munchies and try to fit in a pub lunch at some point.

The Wharf, 10, Wolverhampton St, Walsall, West MidlandsIt’s the Multipacks 2nd Birthday!

We will also be supplying cake so if you’re a Multipack member, new or old, head down to the Wharf (next to the art gallery if you don’t know the area) and join us for a right royal knees up!

The Old Joint Stock, 4 Temple Row West, Birmingham, West Midlands, B2 5NY“A pub built in the shell of a bank. Good atmosphere and decent food. It’s a [Fuller’s] pub, so one of the few places in Birmingham which serves London Pride. The mezzanine overlooks the pub and serves as a quieter place to eat. The club room can be reserved for special functions at no charge, providing there are enough people. The upstairs rooms are also available for private functions, ask at the bar for prices.” (http://birmingham.openguides.org/wiki.cgi?TheOldJoint_Stock)
