This is a Special Geekdinner. Besides it being a joint event together with the Geek Dinners, it will be Ian Forrester’s (ograniser of Geek Dinners and Barcamp London) last London Geekdinner, as he is moving to Manchester. And if that wasn’t enough, we have a fantastic guest speaker: Dr. Sophie Kain.
Dr. Sophie Kain is a very interesting woman. She’s most known for being on the 3rd season of the UK Apprentice where she admitted to being a geek. Although Sophie didn’t win the position at Sir Alan Sugar’s side, she has setup the innovation company, Prior Kain Ltd and launched a web venture entitled Toast and Trash. Sophie is highly intelligent, bubbly and full of life. She is certainly someone you will want to share a couple of ideas with during a bottle of red wine.
When: Saturday, April 26, 2008, 6:30 PM – 11:30 PM
Where: Horse Bar, 124 Westminster Bridge Road, Waterloo, London SE1 7XG
Nearest Underground: Lambeth North
Special Guests: Sophie Kain
Cost: 10 pounds for Food & Venue

After a great GGC yesterday, I’m glad to announce that the next one will be the 24th of April. The venue from last time (Smiths of Smithfield) was sadly not suitable for us; it’s too much of a pub/restaurant than an actual coffee place. Thanks to LJ though, I’ve discovered a perfect little gem for our next coffee: Ray’s Jazz Cafe in the Foyles at Charing Cross.
The last event was a bit rushed and I realized I haven’t even explained the reason behind Girl Geek Coffees. The idea is to have a more regular meetup besides the Dinners where girl geeks can come and socialize (sorry guys, it’s girls only). I was thinking of maybe holding the next one in the weekend, giving more people the chance to come along. Further, if the coffees turns out to be popular, it could always turn into a weekly event. What do you all think? Please leave comments behind and tell me how we can make this great!
So, here are the details for the next coffee:
When: Thursday, April 24, 2008, 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Where: Ray’s Jazz Cafe in Foyles (Charing Cross)
Cost: attending is free, cost for coffee/food will be on a “buy your own” basis
Upcoming: 470563
The cafe is located on the first floor of the Foyles and we’ll be sitting right in the back. It might be a bit small, but the coffee is great and the place even has wifi. If you have trouble finding the place or are running late, you can phone me (07521 294 391) or Twitter me directly (mseckington).

It’s a bit last minute, but the second Girl Geek Coffee will be this Thursday. We’re going to try out a new venue and I’m hoping it’s a bit more suitable than the previous one. It’s the Smiths of Smithfield near Farringdon tube: I haven’t tried it out yet (so fingers crossed), but I’ve heard a lot of positive things about it.
When: Thursday, April 10, 2008, 3:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Where: Smiths of Smithfield near Farringdon
Cost: attending is free, cost for coffee/food will be on a “buy your own” basis
Upcoming: 465894

We are looking for a nice clean Wordpress design for the new site… most of the content is already created… We are just after a nice pretty design. Feel free to get in contact and let us know if you would like to give it a go! Feel free to leave a comment!
UpdateI think we are pretty much there with the site now… there are a few tweaks still to be done but all in all this is pretty much there!
