Geek Girls Allowed

Generally as a group we agree on most things – which is always good to hear. I think making some decisions without the full group being invovled felt risky but actually it was a good thing to do. So the edited highlights are:

• The majority of us…
  • would be happy to pay for some events
  • are interested as much by all things digital media as we are by how things work
  • are concerned about issues facing women in the work place
  • sit somewhere between liking and being indifferent about the name of the group

• More than half …
  • are prepared to hand over a donation to support the group (average of £10)
  • want to get stuck in with the organisation of the group
  • are interested in networking, music, science, craft and communications

• More of us are interested in G&T than Tea (only actually by 4.2% but who’s counting?)
• Quite a lot of us are interested in doing something practical or using our time toward helping the community as a whole
• Two of us are interested in us having a uniform (if you had’t worked it out one of them is me)
• One of us really likes Zac Efron

The issue that has confused me the most is that of the groups name. Most of us are indifferent or actually quite positive about it. But for those of us (far less than half) that really do have an issue with the group’s name their feelings are so strong that initially looking at the responses I’d assumed there would be need to discuss a name change. Now I’m not so sure. An suggestions greatly accepted. The full results can be found here.

And here you can find a calendar of events, some are nailed down some are pencilled in but we promise to keep you informed.

I’m working on the October meeting and will post more info about that soon but if you fancy getting some geeky crafting done watch this space!
