Apologies for the long stretch without a meetup, but this month we are back!

This month we are in a different venue, we have reserved the downstairs in the Four Horsemen pub (very close to the old venue of Box44).

We will be having a general chat about WordPress; themes, plugins, freelancing, site management, and Gutenberg! Feel free to raise questions or things you want to discuss on the night.

We look forward to seeing old and new faces 🙂

From 6.30pm – Grab a drink from the bar and meet downstairs in the pub.

WordPress Bournemouth is an informal and friendly meet up for WordPress users, enthusiasts, and professionals. An opportunity to share and learn with WordPressers from in and around the Bournemouth area.

This event is open to all. From people who are wanting to learn more about the world’s most popular content management system, to people who make their living with WordPress.

Follow #wpbournemouth (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23wpbournemouth) and @WPBournemouth (https://twitter.com/WPBournemouth) on Twitter for all the latest. Have a talk you’d like to present? We’d love to hear from you (https://wpbournemouth.uk/contact/).

Last month was a cracker – two great talks from Tim and Kayleigh from our lovely sponsor 34sp.com.

We don’t have a real life speaker lined up this month, but instead thought we should raid the archives of WordPress TV (recorded talks from WordCamps all around the globe), which gives us the chance to learn about something the majority are interested in watching. We will likely have a shortlist of talks on various topics to vote for on the night.

Of course there will be the usual WordPress chat!

Pizza and drinks supplied by our sponsors.

Rich and I apologise for the last minute cancellation of June’s meetup, due to unforeseen issues with the venue. This month we are back, with a speaker and the usual great WordPress chat!

Finish what you Started

In a world full of distractions and new technology, it is almost impossible to complete our personal projects. We often find that a project becomes too challenging, our responsibilities get in the way, or Netflix gets the better of us. 

This talk will give you the knowledge boost you need on how to remove your distractions and how you can start finishing the projects that you usually forget about.

Presented by Jack Davies. Jack is studying Website Design at University, and likes to experiment with painting, animation, illustrations, photo manipulations, 3D art, blog writing, and microscope photo shoots. The list keeps on going!

Pizza and drinks supplied by our sponsors.
