SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS

  • DEVELOPERS :  Alan and Cathy  : 18th - 25th March is the annual snowcode (developers + snow + party = snowcode) conference. This year its in Morzine at Chalet Joseph, Rude Chalets, cost £569, excluding flights. About 8 spaces left. If ur a software/web developer then find me on Wednesday (I'll be wearing a snowcode hoodie) also checkout the details atwww.camdug.com. Partners welcome. Here are some photographs from the previous snowcode events.

  • TEACHERS Snowboard/Ski holiday during School holidays :Sarah :   Ok so you get 13 weeks holiday, got to love that, however if you are like me then you have a distinct lack of people who are willing or able to pay peak prices for a weeks buzz in the snow. So thought I would put this group together. Be good to meet up to start with on a social and then plan something from there. I'd love to go in April 2012. I'm from High Wycombe, but willing to travel around the South to meet up. : ) Be cool to do Wakeboard or Surf holidays as well. So stop marking and get some snow in your life! : ) 

 

Give us the details of your trip:  If you have a ski trip planned or are wanting to go on a trip, then give us a short summary of your trip (wanted or have) when you RSVP, and I'll add it to the list above. 

There is only 1 rule for getting your trip (or trip wanted ad) listed here... you have to be able to come on Wednesday! This is so that anyone who sees your trip details and is interested in finding out more about your trip can come as well and meet you.

All the trip details collected above will be mailed to the whole group on Monday 6th February in our first ever "snowmeetup newsletter". That's over 450 members that will receive your trip details ...phew ...let's get it on!
(6.2.2012, just realised that Meetup automatically send out an email 2 everyone a day b4 each event, can't remember exactly if it contains a copy of everything here. In order to avoid spamming everyone with duplicate emails I'm going to wait until after Wednesday so I can check with everyone what they received and will send out the newsletter afterwards if needed.)

Our sponsors for the evening are:
