Last Friday the Coventry and Warwickshire Social Media Cafe returned to ‘our arch’ for another assault of danish pastries, coffee and chat. A good mix of regulars (if that is possible after just 2 events) and new people meant lots more conversations and connections.

Thanks once again to Ray Smith and Althorpe Enterprise Hub (now on Twitter!) for the venue, to Tracy Playle from PickleJar Communcations sponsoring the coffees supplied by the Olive Garden Cafe and wifi from Konnex Networks. Co-organiser Paul Squires had a couple of words to say which is about the sum total of formal proceedings at the event.

A few tweets also summed up another good morning:

@SoulSailor

Some interesting folk at #cwsmc today SAP finance, drupal developer and a freelance FD in the mix of conversations…

@aBitGone

Had a valuable time at #CWSMC – hearing about what’s being done with social media, and telling people about #Multipack and the socials too!

@RichYork

#cwsmc Hello all, sorry i couldn’t stay longer, hopefully November! It was very enjoyable though.

@steverumsby

Back from #cwsmc. Some interesting conversations and a few new people to follow. Roll on Nov 20th…

Also in the news, Top Tuttler Lloyd Davis has blogged about the spread far and wide of social media cafes (I’m not sure what the collective noun is for social media cafes…a natter?)  and we’re glad to be a small part of this.

Thanks also to the Leamington Observer group of papers for their article (if under a slightly cryptic headline).

We look forward to welcoming new people to the November cafe which will be on Friday 20th November – same place, same time 10am-12pm at the Court Street Creative Arches. For local businesses details of other events are available at the Warwick District Council Business Enterprise website.

Finally don’t forget that the Birmingham Social Media Cafe is next Friday, 30th October, and the first Cheltenham Social Media Cafe will take place some time in November/December (prod, prod:).   Watch this space for exciting news about a Christmas social for Tuttlers up and down the M40…
