SUGUK coming to a region near you!
Last month Nick Swan and Steve Smith announced that they were looking for 2 new volunteers to take on the responsibility of organising regular meetings for the SharePoint User Group UK (SUGUK). I expressed an interest along with several other people and by chance all the applicants were rather nicely and evenly geographically spread around the UK. It therefore seemed logical to employ the efforts of everyone who had expressed a desire to contribute and create regions for each organiser to take responsibility for. The new organisers and their respective regions are as follows;
| Scotland | Chris Forbes |
| North West | Mark Stokes |
| East Midlands/Yorkshire | Mark Macrea |
| West Midlands | Steve Eyton-Jones |
| South/South West | Ian Woodgate |
| London | Matt Taylor (me!) |
The idea is that we will organise and run meetings in our respective regions at a frequency that suits the region and pool our experience, resources and expertise to help each other and the group as a whole. Matt Smith (South/South West) already has plenty of experience running a user group back in his native New Zealand and Nick and Steve will remain fully committed to supporting us all in our respective regions with their wealth of experience, contacts and knowledge. I for one think this is a really exciting development that will benefit the group and all of it’s members as a whole and I can’t wait to see how the new set up evolves.
Keep an eye on the website and if you’re not already a registered member then get signed up today and get along to your next local meeting!
