As the title says…just curious if anyone is local…

EDIT, seems to have maxed out here, so am widening the “shout out” to the UK in general…

ben has done a map of where we are located to try and get “something” to happen… (what depends on interest levels…, though given the spread of locations a standard “USER GROUP” seems un-likely…

Cheltenham based :slight_smile: Not THAT local but in the happy wide world of 3D we’re practically neighbours!

~P~

3

hours drive, Bude direction :slight_smile:

4

Praxedes, that’s about 2 hours on the M5?

PuG, not too far!

I’m about half an hour out myself!

5

Yeah-2 hours sounds right. I lived in Plymouth until about 3 years ago though- I ran their Games Workshop for a while before switching careers :wink: I have friends in Exeter (and my wife regularly goes to Bude for her work). So plenty of area connection :smiley:
~P~

Spot on.

Perhaps we should organize a drink sometime.

7

Yes! I just found a guy called Glenn who lives in Cheltenham as well- mainly working using Cinema 4D but still a fellow 3D guy.

Has a UK Blender meetup ever happened?

~P~

There was a London user group… I think they had maybe 2 meetings…

I live 44 miles west of London, kinda close-ish :stuck_out_tongue:

M3—>A303---->A30

around 3 hours drive…

Unless it’s summer when everyone and their dog is driving to Newquay…

then it’s around a 5 hour drive!

11

Never that keen on the A303 unless its at odd time - last time coming back from Oxford their was a horrendous amount of road works and their seems even more cameras! (but worth going past Salisbury on a good day) m4, m5, apart from Bristol at times normally an easy run?

12

around stone henge is the worst!.. I was commuting to Guildford most of last year so A303 was my best bet… m4–>m5 is probably consistent, but probably 3/4 of an hour longer than A303 unless “in season”

13

everyone seems a little too far for a meet up though?

14

I’m in Newcastle, that’s way too far though :stuck_out_tongue:

15

A little far, yes! usergroup un-viable!

maybe an annual UK blenderfest! might “just” be do-able

16

Salisbury. Not too far.

17

Blenderfest would be awesome!

~P~

18

Ben,I didn’t know you were from the UK

Praxedes, if you build it they will come!

19

I’d come, so that’s one more. :slight_smile:

I set up a google map showing people who have replied so far’s locations. Feel free to add yourselves/correct the map.
