Ealing Tweetup gets political backing

As regular readers will know, I run the Ealing Tweetup. This is a Social Media networking and fun night run in a local pub (hit tip to The Rose & Crown). Back in September we had our biggest event yet, where there were over 200 people in attendance, 2 bands playing (thanks Brace Yourself & The Bible Code Sundays) and we raised a bit of money for the riot fund.

However also supporting the event this time were local politicians, including Ealing Central and Acton MP Angie Bray and even Deputy Mayor of London Richard Barnes .

However since then a couple of months and another smaller but successful Ealing Tweetup has passed. So I was nicely suprised to see this article on the front on the Ealing Conservative newsletter come through my door:

Brace Yourself for the return of the Ealing Tweetup

As many readers of this blog will know, I now run the Ealing Tweetup. This is West London's best social media event and has been a huge hit with local Twitter users (and some from further afield). It has previously included: live music, video interviews and even sponsorship from Ealing-based businesses.

In April we had a great event with about 25 people turning up to enjoy themselves and meet their fellow Tweeters, some of which had only ever met each other online and not in the real world before then.

Now the Ealing Tweetup returns to its spiritual home of the Rose and Crown pub in South Ealing:

If you would like to come along and be part of the fun, then feel free to come along unannounced. However to give us some idea of the numbers (and to help future sponsorship opportunities), we'd really like people to confirm here: twtvite.com/ealingtu9

This time we have some sponsorship for the event and to qualify for your free drink all you have to do is sign-up for the Ealing Today newsletter . In addition we also have local band Brace Yourself playing throughout the night and here they are in action (not Acton)
