Was wondering if there was a Rubyist meet-up here in Manchester, UK,  
and if not whether there would be interest in starting one.

If somebody has offices and a number for pizza, cool, otherwise I  
know most of the bars in central Manchester and can recommend a  
suitable venue if people would prefer.

Anybody? I almost fell off my chair the other month when somebody  
started talking to me about Ruby on Rails in the Lass O’Gowrie…

Hi,

We’re starting up a Ruby U. Group which is based in the North West.  
I myself live in Stockport, and the two other “founding members” are  
also in the area…

The website is [http://www.onrails.org.uk](http://www.onrails.org.uk)

Although the website is kinda rails specific - we are more than happy  
to discuss Ruby in general 🙂

Cheers,

Pete
