I keep an eye on the User Groups & Events forum on the Raspberry Pi Foundation website, mostly for the purposes of CamJam, but also just to keep informed of what different groups are out there. I’m going to start featuring the groups and events on my blog as I reckon that they should be given as much prominence and publicity as possible!

The first group to be featured is based at Selly Oak Library, Birmingham (669 Bristol Road, Selly Oak, Birmingham, B29 6AE). They hold monthly Pi Club sessions where Pi owners (and prospective Pi owners) can get together, swap information on what they’ve been doing, and support each other if they’ve run into problems. They have 4 Raspberry Pis set-up and it’s also a great opportunity for people without Pis to have a go before they get their own little computers.

The group is open to everyone and they have people with different experience levels in attendance.

The next event is on Saturday, 26th April between 11am and 1pm and the one after is on Saturday 24th May at the same time.
