A few days ago I went to the Geekup Manchester meetup. For those who don't know Geekup describes itself as

a community of web designers, web developers, and other tech-minded folk from the UK. It's a grassroots knowledge sharing and networking social for folks involved or interested in the web and technology industry.

I generally don't find time/money to go to 'Geekups' what with my other commitments but the idea had been to meet up with a few people from DFEY as I had been told some other people whom I thought might be interested in the things we are interested might be coming along... In the end those plans fell through but I went along anyway for some fun.
