Geekup Blackpool
That's Olly, high on lots of sugar!
I started Geekup Blackpool in July 2010 as social event for the local tech community. In those six years the group has talked about many topics for example
- Android app development
- The challenges of teaching Python in schools
- Linux and open source software
More recently we have seen makers and hackers from across the North West..and beyond, take part in the social evening and bring along cool tech to play with.

Geekup Blackpool is open to anyone, regardless of their interests, skills or knowledge.
We meet
The FOURTH Monday of each month, from 6pm at West Coast Rock Cafe for food. Then we move upstairs to our own private space to talk tech, geeky stuff or fly drones!
