UK BTC meetings or get together. Mission On

[crazyearner]

So the question comes to people located within the UK having a Bitcoin/altcoin meeting on a regular basics and continued interest. Now myself am not a good speaker for holding speeches or doing presentations on stuff but I do like to go to a good meeting that has a lot of people you can get to meet, chat with and cast your views on crypto or actually help other people who are just getting started with crypto.

So is their any good meetings happening within the UK for Bitcoin or alt coins happening. Most the ones I have been to follow the same suite 1 you go to them 2 you have a little chat with a few people finding out what or why they got involved in crypto 3 have some speech, f"all asleep" within them or get board to the point of leaving the meetup.

I have not seen that many on here that have good experiences other than they put a dint in peoples wallets and do not bother going to them again. I have been to a fair few across the UK but it is the same old story.
ones that are big have stupid fees on them that get paid and again people do not bother going to again due to them being boring or do not have anything interesting happening or something that they found useful or interesting to say sweet this was worth my while coming to the meetup and getting to know more about things going on in my area and then to go to it again..

Having been to a fair few around the UK am not having a go at any of them or slating the way things are done but a lot could be done in terms of preparation/presentation and actually having a lot more said within the get together other than hay how are you ok lets talk about bitcoin abcde and your asleep.

I am strongly looking to get something arranged across the UK some different locations based on different times of the year and actually have a good old chat and have people come up on stage that would like to present their ideas or even business plans and actually get people speaking to each other to advance their business or projects to the next level and even have some fun. Even to the point of having a convoy of people having a drive around the UK going from one location to another making a good weekend out of it.

I know stuff like this does already happen but theirs not much of it going on and most events that happen are always in London and not in mixed locations across the UK.  An Idea would be to meet at a central location so its simple enough for most people to get to and or have places across the UK going on tour across the UK. Food drinks refreshments and entertainment from djs, mc, activities and lots of different thinks to keep you entertained at the event.

What you lot think to something like this. You think it could work if enough planning and interest is collected??

Yeah seems we haven't had a meetup ever , and we need something to happen sooner.
Been a while since I went to one.

Thanks for your comments. All that is needed is more people to get together and have a good time. Even if its meeting up sharing ideas and having a good time at the same time. Most of the meetings and get together all seem to have one thing in common and that is the creators of them making money off them for the event. Not all make much on them but some make a serious amount of coin off them where as if I am going to throw something together everyone in it would get full closure of what is spent on what and what the cost of everything is.

Or even having some get together with everyone across the UK and meeting at a nice location with activity's for the weekend, even throw some contests in going across the UK going to bowling paint-ball shooting go carting and even some more extreme events like sky divining for the crazy ones or even scooper diving. Not many events have stuff like that other than speakers doing presentation. I want to actually create something that is something that everyone can do and say wow that was an experience I would love to do something like that again in the future and bring along some more friend next time. theirs a lot of ideas and plans I want to post but most who have events already will no doubt just take the idea for them self to use.

So for now that's all am going to say on the subject until I get things all planned providing their is enough interest and maybe speak of more of the ideas and events that will be included.

Shame it is not based anywhere near me or I would end up coming to it. Do you guys have a live feed for streaming the event or just local meeting. Would be nice to see some video of meeting and hear what is said and what went on.
