The Wessex Meetup Organisers group welcomes all Organisers / Assistants and those considering starting a group but don’t know how to go about it.   We are also hoping to be able to provide funds to help some new Meetups to get started through the assistance of our sponsors. 

Join up with local Wessex based Meetup Organisers to share your community experience and learn tips and tricks for organising great Meetups. There is no better way to support each other!

"A rising tide lifts all ships."

Wessex Meetup Group organisers - by working together with one-another, including through the sharing of resources, contacts and advice through years (months, weeks, etc) of experience - can raise the level of Meetup events being scheduled throughout Wessex area(Dorset, Hampshire, Surrey and Wiltshire), most importantly through participation in this Organizers' group though, is knowing that it will be of great benefit towards being able to improve one's own groups.

Come meet with other Meetup Organizers as we share thoughts about what's working for them, along with what challenges they are finding in running and managing their groups - including discussion about obtaining "sponsors" and/or other local support.

Remember to come prepared to help others in managing and organizing their groups, knowing that everyone else at the same time will be there intending to help you with yours.

Please remember to mention this group to fellow organizers you are in touch with, or meet at events - in order to help increase the visibility for this group among Wessex Meetup Organizers.

This is currently a public group with open membership. While the group - and it's events - will remain squarely focused on the needs of local Meetup Organizers, others individuals or organizations may be interested in attending meetings as well - whether for specific networking opportunities, seeking out sponsorship opportunities, seeking visibility as a Meetup Organizer resource in some way, and/or simply as someone that may be considering becoming a Meetup Organizer in the future.

When possible, we'll schedule events at some Meetup-friendly venues around the Wessex area. The central meetings will be at the Winchester Discovery Centre in Jewry Street, Winchester starting from sometime in September 2016.
