Attending a Tweetup tomorrow

Tomorrow night, I’m going to attend an Oxfordshire Tweetup at the Fallowfields Country House near Abingdon.  I’m not sure what to expect, but I saw it was coming up and thought I would check it out.  A tweetup, as I understand it, is just a bunch of Twitterers getting together to meet each other.  I follow a few people in the Oxfordshire area (they actually help me by letting me know when the roads are bad or if there is anything interesting going on in the area) and it would be nice to meet them.  I’m not sure what to expect really, but it will be nice to meet some new people.

A few years ago, when ECademy was at it’s prime, I attended a local networking evening.  It was okay, but it was really a room full of people trying to sell themselves and their companies.  I never met so many life coaches as I did that night.  But it wasn’t awful—and i met some nice people who I spoke with afterwards.  I’m hoping that the tweetup is not so business-focused.

I’m looking forward to it.  I’ll let you know how it goes.  If you live in Oxfordshire and want to attend, the url to register for the event is here: http://twtvite.com/mkp8da
