Well, here’s how you can get you hands on a ticket to either Flash On The Beach or b.TWEEN at this Thursdays meetup.

We’re going to keep it simple with a free raffle. To be in with a chance all we ask is:
You are a Northern Digitals member. If you aren’t join up here.
You are there on Thursday at The Northern when we do the draw.
You can/want to go to either of these events if you are lucky to win. These are pretty special prizes and we don’t want them to go to waste. Tickets won’t be able to be sold on.
Oh, and if you are the lucky winner, you take plenty of pics when you are there for us all to share.

That’s it really, good luck and we’ll see you all there.

…well it is now that the nice people at Orchard Suits www.orchardsuits.co.uk have kindly offered to sponsor our Christmas meetup next Thursday by putting some money behind the bar for us all to have a beer or maybe even two. It all depends on how many of you turn up. Because of that I’m secretly hoping it’s just me and a bar full of beer.

We had our second meetup last night at Socio Rehab in Manchester and just like the last it was a great turn out of varied creative talent.

There were a lot of new faces, which is probably down to the group has a whole growing since last time.

The next one will on the 4th December and for the time being at the same venue. Don’t forget to RSVP. If this changes I’ll let you know. While I’m talking about venue, it would be great if you could share what you thought about it. You can leave a comment here, share it via the meetup site or email me direct.

Again, apart from a couple of shots took with my digital, the radioactive shots took with my other camera will be put up next week. If took any photos last night please send them to me and I’ll stick them up on our Flickr site.

I don’t know about you, but I thought the first Northern Digitals meetup at Socio Rehab in October was a great success. Around 50 of the 120 members came along to network with other northern based creatives and agencies, or to just grab a drink on their way home. More strange looking photos of the night can be see on our Flickr site. If you came along and have some pics, send them over and I’ll upload them.

It wasn’t just a good turn out from freelancers and individuals who are looking into getting into the industry, but also from agencies such as, Flame, Fudge, Love, Make. Hopefully more agencies will get involved in future meetups.

The next meetup is going to be on Thursday 6th November at Socio Rehab again. I’m going to be looking at alternative venues in Manchester for future events.

It’s looking like the next one will get a great turn out again. If you want to join up or RSVP for the next event, you can by going to - www.meetup.com/northerndigitals
