Open Coffee Lisburn

Posted in Business, Do something Now is good by wiseguyrussell on January 20, 2009

I got to talking today on twitter with Andrew Gribben and Simon McC about OpenCoffee Belfast and how of late none of us had been able to attend due to various work and child care restraints.

So as a solution to the problem we have decided to form a sub group – a spinter cell if you will. Open Coffee Lisburn.

For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about when i say ‘Open Coffee’  The OpenCoffee Club was started in London in early 2007 to encourage entrepreneurs, developers and investors to organise real-world informal meetups to chat, network and grow.  Since its birth it has grown worldwide with groups forming in the USA, Australia, Uk, Ireland and Europe with the simple theme

OpenCoffeeClub A Place for people who love startups to hang out and meet

This Friday we will have our first meeting in Cafe Vic Ryn (on the Moira road) : Lisburn @ around 9.30am.  There is no cost (as usual) just turn up, but a coffee and have a chat !

Hope to see you there !

    I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. Today, this day of hope, we bring to you Open Coffee Lisburn, unshackled by travel restraints and bad parking. Our Founding Fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience’s sake.
    We are the keepers of this legacy and this day the people of Lisburn unite with one voice and one purpose, God Bless you and God Bless The City of Lisburn.

    Sorry :-D

    Be there!

[...] It was last January that myself, Andrew Gribben and Simon McCartney decided that enough was enough and Lisburn should to earn its place on the global Open Coffee movement and start our own in Lisburn, days later we had our first meeting in Cafe Vic Ryn on the Moira road and it was born.
