It is getting to that conference time of year again; I can’t believe the PDC is only 3 weeks away, then VBug  the next week and DDD7 just after that. A bit closer to home there are some free events coming up this month: XPClub - October Meeting: "Agile Narrative" by Nick McKenna, Wedn

It is getting to that conference time of year again; I can’t believe the PDC is only 3 weeks away, then VBug  the next week and DDD7 just after that.

A bit closer to home there are some free events coming up this month:

• XPClub - October Meeting: "Agile Narrative" by Nick McKenna, Wednesday, 8th October, 7pm for 7:30pm at the Victoria Hotel in the centre of Leeds (free event inc. free beer!), no need to register just turn up
• Black Marble community events – Silverlight, XNA and Gaming Pete Mcgann (XNA) and Richard Costall (Silverlight) talk about XNA, Gaming and Silverlight in their own unique style. 22nd October 6pm for 6:15pm at The Holiday Inn, Tong (between Leeds and Bradford). This free event also provides free food, you can just turn up, but really helps if you register online.

Look forward to seeing you at one of the events in Yorkshire

A bit further from home, Guy has had a bit of a coup at the Bristol .Net Usergroup. He has got Oren Eini the developer of RhinoMocks speaking on the 13th of October during a rare UK visit. For those of you who the name Oren is not familiar, he is the man behind blog http://ayende.com/blog/ a major resource for all things Agile.
