Hello all you busy tinkerers out there!

Next Meetup:
October 8th at 6PM

Note: Sorry for any confusion over the last meetups - we had some hiccups - and we were either present but weren't spotted or the days had changed. We're on track now and looking forward to seeing you all.

With the growth of Arduino over the last year we've decided to start the Arduino Users Group in Auckland and we'd love it if you came along to say hello and tell us about your projects over a beer.

Tim Carr (that's me, the MindKits Chief Ninja) and Kim Newall will be hosting and we are looking forward to seeing many of you at the Arduino Users group which started again on Thursday 3rd of September and runs on the second Thursday of the month from there.

We've got some fun plans to bring you a mix of community, entertainment and education so we'd love to see you come along and say hello over a beer and a bit of a chat. It's all rather relaxed so just turn up, say hello and grab a seat.

The Arduino Users Group will include:

Guest speakers - delivering information on current areas of interest or requested info. An opportunity to ask experts for advice and help with problems A show and tell so you can share what you've been working on with others A chance to meet people interested in the same stuff as you A fun way to quench your thirst over a beer Bit or byte swap - exchange your goodies for others stuff

Details:

Where:
Playhouse Bar (next to Aotea Square at the side of the IMax building) - We'll have a sign on the table so you know it's us.

When:
6pm.  Second Thursday of the month

Who:
Anyone who is interested in learning about Arduino, is working with it or wants to meet others who are interested in it.

Please feel free to bring along anyone you think would enjoy it too.

Astime goes on we'll get some sponsorship sorted and perhaps some prizes too. Also there will be a 'parts swap' so you can trade bits and bobs.

If you'd like to know more, have questions you can contact me (Tim at Mindkits.co.nz or @Mindkits on Twitter)

We'reboth looking forward to having you at our meet ups and would love it if you could help us spread the word to others who may be interested via Twitter, Facebook or even the old email (hell, we'd be fine with IP over Carrier Pigeon if it works for you)
