I’ve been wanting a Tauranga Web Meetup since I moved here almost 4 years ago.

There’s a lot of web professionals based in Tauranga, Mount Maunganui and Papamoa but I haven’t met many of them in person. Twitter’s great and I’ve been following what a few of the locals are up to, but nothing beats getting together in the same room picking brains.

So finally we have a Tauranga Web Meetup happening. The first meetup is at QJumpers, above Storage Solutions, Bay Central, Tauranga (by Briscoes, Rebel Sport etc).

The Auckland Web Meetups have been going strong for a few years now and are the inspiration for the Tauranga Web Meetup. Hopefully we can get it happening in Tauranga. I look forward to meeting local web professionals and finding out who is out there. There’s a lot of work I’d like to farm out to the appropriately skilled people and I’m sure there’s lots of other locals thinking the same.

Let’s get together.

Tauranga farmer’s market is getting better all the time. The gluten-free sausages are great and I had the best masala dosa outside India there one fine day. I’ve only had two dosas outside India but it was pretty authentic. Now if they could just get some Oak leaf wine and a pig on a spit happening.

The farmer’s market is starting at the Mount soon on Sundays and running to the slightly more civilized hour of 1pm.
