are there any, how do I find out about them?

[NickNick]

First Tuesday used to meet at the Glass Boat.
There used to be an IT one on First Thursday out by HP somewhere.

Other than that, organise one yourself, I do. What industry are you in?

NickNick - what group do you organise? If it .net related could you PM please?

[NickNick]

nothing formal, I just mail out an invite to everyone I know in the industry and get them to bring colleagues along.
