A bit of a distance, but thought I'd forward on the below in case anyone
was interested in going as a small group?

Hello, LUG Masters and Mistresses

this information, please do!

Hello!
Late last year, I was chatting with Laura Czajkowski about DevRel and
community events in the UK. I'd just returned from an excellent
experience at London Barcamp, buzzing about the talks and energy of the
event. I mentioned what a great job Terence Eden and their crew did.
Good vibes all around!
When Laura suggested she could find a venue if I helped run one, I
jumped at the chance. Fast-forward to today—we've secured the perfect
location, and we're making it happen!
We are delighted to announce that we're hosting BarCamp Surrey on August
2nd at Godalming College. The venue is within walking distance of the
train station, and there's ample parking with EV charging facilities
on-site for those driving.
For those unfamiliar with BarCamps, they are incredibly inclusive events
where anyone can present on topics they're passionate about. You don't
need to be an experienced speaker or prepare slides—it's all about
sharing knowledge and experiences.
We'll have six classroom spaces available for talks, plus plenty of
outdoor areas perfect for networking, demonstrations, and showing off
your latest projects. This day is shaping up to be one of
knowledge-sharing and community-building.

Looking forward to seeing you there! #BarCampSurrey
Cheers,
Al.
