Interesting meeting on the 27th March through the new OpenCoffee Club in Manchester . OpenCoffee is derived from an original cappachino by Saul Klien and because it is a smart and simple idea it seems to be taking off big time.
The Manchester event was organised by Manoj Ranaweera and he has made notes on the event here. Its a good write up, and I have nothing to add except to express the interesting nature of the concept which makes it special, which is … informal and regular.
It’s a weekly event same time same place, there are no agendas (except from those attending of course…), no real start time just drop in and see who is there. In my mind this makes it remarkable, as it differs immensely from the more formal First Tuesday clones that vet your ideas before they let you in the door!
If you have an idea that you want to take forward, or even an idea about an idea then it comes recommended. Keep your eyes on the upcoming OpenCoffee group for latest info.

David, I thought my write up was crap compared to what Paul has written. Many thanks for your support!
Regards, Manoj

Aha, I see there is another OpenCoffee write-up by Paul Robinson aka Wiggy aka Vagueware to fill in the gaps linked into Manojs write up.
