The meet-up scene in Northern Ireland is growing rapidly, with groups interested in the emerging technology industry, startups, Apple and photography already in full-swing. One more to add to the pile can’t hurt - so I’m planning on organizing a regular monthly meet-up in South Belfast for those interested in the lighter side of tech - a group meeting to talk about blogging, community and social networking, programming, design, and lolcats. I’m keeping it deliberately broad - the Belfast blogging community alone is still quite small, so now seems like the best time to get everyone together before we can’t fit into a coffee shop anymore …

If you’re interested, obviously show up. But if you can, please re-blog this, fire it on your profile places and Twitter feeds, and spread the word to your friends. Charlies is open to 9pm, but if we get a good crowd there are plenty of pubs nearby!
