The Mad Hatter

It's taking place in our fair city 9 days before it erupts into swathes of red, white and blue bunting. We could call this "The Royal Web Nights" but I fear that we may not achieve the highest of standards (knowing those that's have said they'd attend security clearance may be an issue).

There's a Lanyrd page for you to express a preference in attending or tracking us, so make sure you stick your name down..

On this evening we'll be meeting at The Royal Festival Hall at the Central Bar. We hope those who come along will enjoy catching up with like-minded people interested in 'the web'.

We're in the habit of hosting a relaxed unstructured evening of beer and banter, or wine and winge, or lemonade and laughter. Whichever suits your mood.

So, if you're free on the 3rd Tuesday of the month and are able to attend, we'll look forward to seeing you there.

Feel free to attend the event on facebook.

This is totally awesome, we hope all those who attend find value in their time spent together.

If we keep this up and we may be able to encourage some webcelebs to pay a visit and do a talk/show for us and hang out in the pub for a while.

So, if you're just stating to become interested in the web or you're industry mogul, please sign up for the Web Nights newsletter and we'll inform you of upcoming events. Or simply remember "second Tuesday of the month" or, "a week after Winchesterweb" - easy.

See you next time. :)

(btw, the newsletters have been know to amuse, so it's worth signing up for an occasional moment of mirth.)

August's Web Nights was full of some top brass! The interesting conversations including rock climbing, endurance cycling, marathon running were all pooh-poohed for gaming, beer and mocking youtube videos.

A good night was had by all, especially @andij, who took it upon himself to use Web Nights as an excuse to celebrate his birthday!

Next time we "shall" improve the tone of our topics.

We all know the situation, it appears that the Web Nights group is not expanding outside of our exsisting social group. This was discussed last night and during last months Web Nights, so those that we're there are aware of the kind of thing that was discussed.

There will be an email going out to the 'werock@webnights.net' email list with a number of areas where we feel that can be improved. What we'd like those of you to do once you receive this email is to volunteer for at least one task, along with contributing any ideas that you feel could benefit Web Nights.

The idea is to make this monthly event a little more popular and in turn it will become more interesting for others to attend.

It's already June and we're heading into the abyss of the World Cup where little or no work will be done during each and every England match. We are all really looking forward to the next #webnights as this will be the Tuesday after the Final, we will hang out on the 13th July at Propaganda and discuss the latest tech to have been exposed during the World Cup.

Bring along anything that helped you to keep up to date with the scores/results/news/punditry etc. Would be great to share the tech.

Another meet up for web people and enthusiasts from the surrounding of Fleet and Farnborough. Come along for chat about everything web related, what's new and cool, or to get help, make some connections or just have a drink.

You don't have to be in the industry just have an interest in the the web. We'll be in Propaganda in Fleet from around 7pm. If you haven't been before or don't know us we'll be the ones with the laptops :)

It's one of those 'list of questions', 'write your answers' and send to your mates thingies that you've most probably seen floating about the internet before. This one is nice and short, mainly because I can't be bothered to think too hard on a Sunday morning:

1. Link to your favorite tweet/facebook status you read?

2. Link to your favorite tweet/facebook status you wrote?

3. Give us the best YouTube video you've seen.

4. What's your bestest website of the moment?

Four ain't that many, but it'll be good enough to make a few of us laugh/cry.

Copy these questions onto your comment and paste the offending links after the questions, then link this post into a tweet/facebook status to share.
