With the growth of Arduino over the last year we've decided to start the Arduino Users Group in Auckland and we'd love it if you came along to say hello and tell us about your projects over a beer.

Tim Carr (that's me, the MindKits Chief Ninja) and Kim Newall will be hosting and we are looking forward to seeing many of you at the Arduino Users group which runs on the second Thursday of the month.

We've got some fun plans to bring you a mix of community, entertainment and education so we'd love to see you come along and say hello over a beer and a bit of a chat. It's all rather relaxed so just turn up, say hello and grab a seat.

We had a great meet up last time and if you'd like to see what went on you can catch the blog entry here

The Arduino Users Group Includes:

• Guest speakers - delivering information on current areas of interest or requested info.

• An opportunity to ask experts for advice and help with problems

• A show and tell so you can share what you've been working on with others

• A chance to meet people interested in the same stuff as you

• A fun way to quench your thirst over a beer

• Bit or byte swap - exchange your goodies for others stuff
