You become someone else in the comments box! :lol: Elly was minding the house and a good job she did too. The last comment was from me. Annmarie ~ The Ladies Tea party will hopefully become an annual event. It was fantastic. A great big Thank you to Ina and Sabrina for organising it and to Martha at Microsoft for the Loaves and fishes! Now http://www.irelandgirlgeekdinners.com/ might be just the ticket for you.

Gannymar is an un-tekkie blogger and that is perhaps why we have not met yet. I have lurked on your blog for some time before putting my big size sevens in about the tea party. At the time it hit me as being exclusive rather than inclusive. I hate to see divisions creeping in. Following all the input by way of comments here I can now see the point. my personal thoughts are that all these events should be part of a weekend celebration culminating in the Blog Awards. Think CreativeCamp with Irish Blog Awards all in the one weekend. If it was organised for the same weekend each year then it would become fixed in everyone's mind (think Horseshow) and perhaps grow into a four day event! I hope the tea party is well attended and a great success. Sabrina, Hello and welcome. Gannymar is an un-tekkie blogger and that is perhaps why we have not met yet.

I don't think we've crossed paths yet so I'm sorry your introduction to my blog put you off. I can understand where you and Bock are coming from, but (and I speak only for myself here) my thinking fell more in line with Elly and RedMum's. Women are under-represented in most tech and blogging events here, and I thought it would be nice to roll out the welcome wagon (maybe if you're meeting a small group before, you'll be more likely to go this year?) and to have a chance to talk to other women bloggers about some of the issues Elly articulated and maybe ganging up with her to push some people forward a little more! Not that I'm bossy. Or anything... Hi Grannymar. I don’t think we’ve crossed paths yet so I’m sorry your introduction to my blog put you off.

Pamper blog meet might sound like an idea which, in theory, you don't have to female to go for it. If there is enough hair colouring, it could end up as a ginger meet :) Are there enough “interested” bloggers to organise a bloggers spa weekend.

No red carpet rubbish but a get together, a drink, a chat, plenty of laughter and the opportunity to acknowledge the talent of some amazing people. I am realising the benefit of the groups with particular interests, meeting at different stages of the weekend. Conortje ~ Come on over and organise a gay ex-pat bloggers meetup. The turnout might surprise you! Red Mum ~ a clique was my worry. I am sure some folk met up last year before and after the event. Now a ‘ginger meet’, alas I no longer qualify for that one since the grey has overtaken my auburn tresses. Deborah ~ I would like to go down for the craic, but all my arrangements have an ‘if’ and it is: if my health behaves. Claire ~ the Blog Awards are a great social occasion in the true Irish sense.
