So its now no real secret. I'm planning a big christmas party for BBC Backstage. The difference is that rather than going it alone and creating a whole lot of havoc with everyone elses plans. I decided that Backstage should actually talk to the rest of the community groups in London and encourage one big party. This is core to the BBC Backstage values, rather than go it alone we're going to see whats already out there and see if we can help out, encourage more take up or parcipitation. Anyway, so after the emails went out, I started getting into conversations with different groups and got a line up to rival all line ups. And on Friday night at the geekdinner I revealed the party plans.
To make things clearer, I posted up the details on the Backstage blog and then with the advice of Rob, hit Upcoming and Eventful
Yes the rumours are true…
There is a BBC Backstage Christmas Party being planned for Saturday 9th December in London.
Rather than host it ourselves and clash with everyone else's parties. We decided that it would be very fitting to backstage if we collaborated together some of the best groups and communities in London. Then got them under one roof to share in the Christmas Party…
Seemed like a crazy idea, but I would like to introduce our fantastic partners for the Christmas Bash,
Swedish Beers
London Girl Geekdinners
Geekdinners
London Perlmongers
London Webstandards Group
London Ruby user group
Open rights group
London 2.0
Momo MondayWe have an excellent Cuban venue (TBC) all to ourselves deep in the area of Moorgate and Citypoint.
So please keep a note in your calendar, as Saturday 9th December looks to be a fantastic night to be in London.
