Hi guys, I would just like to start off by saying I'm chuffed to have crossed the 600 posts mark, but I think more of an achievement is that I'm made it into the Top 25 on Buzztouch. I've closed the decision poll for the date to choose the next UK Meet. So here are the details: Monday 25th February 2013 16:00 (GMT+0) Berlitz Language Centre, 131 High Street, Oxford, OX1 4DH, OXON A selected few will join me on a Google Hangouts so we can get a few more members, but you'll all be able to watch it live on YouTube with only a two or three second delay! So if you guys need my contact information, please give me an email: [email protected] I'm updating the Buzztouch oxford website right now, so it may not work for an hour or so, but here's a link anyway as reference: www.buzztouchoxford.com

Nice one! Keep up the good work.

How far from the station is the meeting location in Oxford?

About 15 mins walk.

Hi Anna don't mean to be a pain, but the walk from the station seems a little far, wasn't there somewhere closer to the station that the meeting could of taken place?

How long will the meet last for, as this will determine what ticket I purchase?

Still not called Anna! LOL. The walk isn't too far, and you do pass a few attractions. The room is my dads and saves me a good £50. Its right in the centre so there isn't much I can do. There is a bus for about £1 to the city. We last about two hours, but we always overspill. I would leave it until after 7pm. There's also another London member coming by train, and he's got an open return because he wants to travel away with the other members back.

cool, sorry about the name.

I think it's just funny I'm called Anna

The decision poll has now ended and I have picked a date and time. I was meant to tell you this one week ago, so I do apologise if this is late notice. Here are the full details: Date: Tuesday 7th May 2013 Time: 16:00 (4PM) until 18:00 (6PM) [we always spill over by about fifteen minutes] Location: Berlitz Language Centre Oxford 131 High Street Oxford OX1 4DH (near Carfax tower - opposite Covered Market - down alley to a pub named "Chequers") Please do try and make the trip to Oxford. Over the last few meets, it has been very good and I have certainly learnt much from it. It's all free and everyone is welcome (member or non-member). I will be covering this on Google Hangouts, however, I will only invite people who can't attend this meet, due to being long distances away. Google Hangouts is not an alternative to attending the meet. I really do look forward to seeing as much of you there. As I said before, please try and make the meet, because it makes it all the better! Please keep my contact details, so if you need to find us, then you know who to contact: Thomas Boyd +44 (0) 7531 425 517 [email protected]

Hi guys, The next meet is tomorrow. Please come along! Date: Tuesday 4th June 2013 Time: 16:00 2 hours (often we may go to a pub or something afterwards) Location: Berlitz Language Centre 131 High Street Oxford OX1 4DH (opposite Covered Market; above alley to the Chequers) www.buzztouchoxford.com

Hi all, I know it's too early to think of Christmas right now, but I'm planning the next Buzztouch meetup which will be the last of the year. There is a shortage of people wanting to attend this one, so I would be good if you could attend too, if possible. So it's the usual drill, I'll tell you what the details are: Location: Berlitz Langauge Centre 131 High Street Oxford OX1 4DH (same as BuzzDay) Date + Time: Thursday 28th November 16:00 - 18:00 (with a pub stop) So I hope to quickly recap over BuzzDay and have a nice social gathering. The more people we get, the less we have to hear about David's new yacht club in London. Hope to see you there, Thomas Boyd Annandale Apps http://www.buzztouchoxford.com

Hi all, I'm sure you know the regular Oxford meetups. If you don't, it is a great way to share knowledge, problems and issues with each other. It's like the forums but extended into reality. I have had tremendous fun over the last year doing this and I hope my attendees have also had fun too. I have learnt tonnes of new knowledge, and I'm not exactly a beginner. Everyone is welcome to attend, and its free of charge. Even the tea and coffee is free! If you're a guest, member, beginner or expert, you are all welcome to come along. Often I have learnt a lot from beginners, because I get fresh ideas. I have organised a meeting on the last Thursday of the month. So here are the next three dates: 30th January 2014 27th February 2014 27th March 2014 16:00 until 18:00 However we do tend to add some extra time with a pub stop after the meeting. I won't confirm dates beyond this, however it gives you plenty of notice for upcoming meetings. Here's the venue location: Berlitz Language Centre 131 High Street Oxford OX1 4DH During the next meetup (Jan), I will be announcing some more information on the big autumn event. I hope to see you attending! Thomas Boyd Buzztouch Oxford organiser http://www.buzztouchoxford.com PS. If you're further north of Oxford, I will be visiting Birmingham and Edinburgh shortly. Anyone want to meet there? However these will be one-off meetings, and not regular.
