What is it?
A tweetup is an event where people who Twitter (and people who don’t, all are welcome) come together to meet in person. Normally we connect with our friends online after we have met them. At a tweetup you meet the people you might only otherwise know virtually. Like finally putting a name to a face, a tweetup is a great opportunity to really connect with the people in your network and share just a little more than 140 characters at a time. #BoroTweetUp is not affiliated with any organisation.
When is it?
We meet up the first Friday of every month. The next meeting is on 5th April.
Where is it?
Blu
77-81 Albert Road
Middlesbrough, UK

Hello beautiful people of Tumblr/Middlesbrough.
I am in need of some help for my final major project (short film). I’m aiming to make a public service video, it will be ‘Dating it the 21st Century’, but will have a 50’s style to it.
Basically, I’m in need of a male and female to be in it. You…
As well as being a mum, one of the things of which I’m most proud is being an adopted daughter of Middlesbrough.
Wherever I go it’s always one of the first things I say. Yep, I’m a Boro lass, loud and proud. However, over the years, I have found that something strange has started to…

Are your bookshelves crammed many-books deep? Have you taken over your floor with books? Are you wondering what floor? Bar Book Swap is for you!
A willing Bar, books, nice folks.
November 2 - Fancy Dress edition - and if you don’t have any fancy dress we’ll supply some gear for the evening.
Bring any books you are ready to part with to a Bar Book Swap.
Every book is exchanged for a ticket/token to swap for different book(s), or a single ticket with the number of books brought in.
Admittedly this may not solve the storage problem above but may get the dust off your old to-be-read pile and in with the new!
If you want more books (than you have tickets/tokens), you may buy additional books for £1/$1/€1.
Any proceeds will go to a charity as voted for by you!
Book lovers of the world Unite and Take Over!
