GovCamp North is on hiatus. But @ukgovcamp.bsky.social is going on tour to Brum next year!

...meanwhile, over on the @ukgovcamp.bsky.social Slack channel, there's a vote and discussion on where our January 2026 event ( #ukgc26 ) will be and #Manchester is winning. Visit the bottom of www.ukgovcamp.com to join Slack then head over to the #general channel to take part.

GovCamp is looking for suggestions of solicitors or equivalent organisations who can help put us on a more formal legal footing. We'd like an ideally free initial consultation followed by us paying them to do the paperwork for the new org. If you have positive recommendations please RSVP. Thanks!

@ukgovcamp.bsky.social is in a position at the moment where we're looking to put the organisation on a firm legal footing. Before we do that we're looking for a small group of people to help us decide if we want to just do one event a year or potentially branch out into more things.

I've published, "Help us decide the future of UKGovCamp" www.ukgovcamp.com/2025/03/24/h... for @ukgovcamp.bsky.social.

Thanks to everyone who signed up for UKGovCamp 2025 on Saturday 18 January 2025 in London. Please use the #ukgc25 hashtag to share your event feedback (or DM us if you prefer). You can also join our Slack via the link at the bottom of www.ukgovcamp.com and use the #feedback channel instead.

See you #ukgc25 Ellie (-: ^James

We tried to find a dry, non-alcoholic venue for Friday and Saturday night #ukgc25 socials, but they were too small, too expensive or not available. We're really sorry. So we'll be at The Feathers, 18-20 Broadway, Greater, London SW1H 0BH from 5pm both evenings. www.ukgovcamp.com/2025/01/13/t...

Excited to be going to my first @ukgovcamp.bsky.social this year, who else is going? 🙋‍♀️ #ukgc25
