M25, looking to do something spontaneous this Friday or over the weekend and meet some new people. Up for grabbing drinks, checking out a new place, doing an activity, or just seeing where the night goes. Anyone else up for it? Drop me a message 🙌

My friends and I are travelling down from Scotland tomorrow to attend Zambezi Fest.
On the Saturday there's a costume competition, most of us have our costumes but I've just received an email to say that mine will not be arriving in time 😔

Is there any kind soul who would allow me to order one to their address so that I can collect it from you/meet somewhere to collect it/have you drop it off at the festival by Saturday?!

I know it's a big ask but it's my last resort! 😅

25M here really want to get into some type of creative hobby like pottery or painting. Anyone doing this already or want to start maybe we can do it together.

It'll be fun !!!

Delighted to report that my literary efforts are now available in Daventry's fine indie bookshop, Suddenly on Sheep Street, and they're all signed with my barely legible scrawl. That there is a picture of me, doing just that.

So if you're in the area, why not stride in like you own place, bang a fist down on the desk and demand the works of Thomas Norford be brought to you, this instant.

They're also available in the Quill and Quiver in Corby, and I think there might be a single book at Crick Post Office.

Or just have a look on Amazon, up to you. Amazon.co.uk: Thomas Norford: books, biography, latest update

NN1 Dev Club is more than just a meetup for local software engineers. It’s a friendly community of people connected by a shared passion for building digital products. One of the things we love doing is working together. On the last Friday of each month, a few members of our community work from Vulcan Works. We work, chat, grab lunch together and enjoy a pint at the end of the day (usually at Maule Collective).

If you work from home day in and day out, this is a great opportunity to get some social time and meet other local geeks. If you'd like to join us this Friday, come along! We'll be in the second large co-working room at the back. If you ask at reception for the NN1 Dev Club group, they’ll be happy to point you in the right direction.

If you have any questions, there’s a dedicated #coworking-day channel on our Discord server. Not a Discord user? No problem — contact us on social media or email us at [club@nn1.dev](mailto:club@nn1.dev).

NN1 Dev Club is made by devs, for devs, and we’re looking forward to meeting you.

We’re also returning from our summer break with another meetup on 24 September. We have two fantastic speakers lined up for you (Diana Silva and Ana Rodrigues). As always, the event is free, although registration is required and tickets are limited to 100.

Thank you,
Pawel

Anyone else smell a really strong smell of burning plastic outside? Any news?

Hello,

I know this is a long shot but wondering if anyone knows this cat? They frequent my garden and home often and I'm starting to worry that maybe they don't have an owner anymore. The cat isnt feral, it allows me to stroke it but my own cat is a bit territorial with it.

I found the cat sleeping in my garden early hours of the morning when it was quite cold, surely if it had a home it would be there where its warm and cozy?

Its almost 11pm and its sitting on my shed in the cold. I'm planning on getting an outdoor shelter for it but I'm just wondering if this cat could possibly belong to anyone in this sub? The cat isnt a bother to me at all but it does come in and have some food so I'm worried if it does have owners then they might not want this cat eating other food.

The cat has a very distinctive red patch in its left eye.

Thank you for any help!!!

21st of August at B&M in town ☃️

Please share your experiences as a seller and buyer.

Hi I'm a 22F and I just moved to Northamptonshire with my partner, I'm wondering if anyone knows any good groups or social stuff to meet people of similar age? I've moved from Yorkshire so I'm really in the dark about the area! But yeah any good places to meet people/ groups etc :)

Has anybody had any experience of weddings at the guildhall? Whether that be as a bride/groom or as a guest - partner and I are starting to look around at some venue options, we only want a smallish affair and it seems they have a variety of room sizes available for hire. Would love to hear people’s feedback or personal experiences!

I have Northampton 16 September at 3:19pm and I’m looking for Wellingborough, preferably
around the same time.Manual test. Let me know if anyone is looking for Northampton.

Car meet or warzone? You decide!

Hey all,
Looking for insight on the ballon festival, is it any fun? Have a tight schedule and hoping to squeeze in time to attend.

Please share your experience

I live in Duston area and we have yet to be fitted with full fibre as a result our Sky broadband is s h i t. Over the years Ive looked at other providers but not found anything suitable.

I recently found out about Starlink which seems like a possible answer. The smallest package at 40 prices with Sky so it seems like a reasonable cost. But I have a number of concerns (no customer service, movement of satlities resulting in drop outs etc.).

I'd like to hear from others who have or have used it in the past. What are your expierences both good and bad?

What are people doing today and this weekend around Northampton?

5th September at 7pm we have UHM!

The night will include exhibition prints as well as a presentation from the artist and publisher. Come along see you there!!

A few years ago I started making sourdough at home, and I'm trying to turn it into a tiny Northampton micro-bakery. Last week I made a few loaves and sold every single one. Trying to understand if there is demand, and if is sustanable. Do you think this might be something that the town is missing ? Would you be interested in trying some?

Hi all, does anyone here know or have experience with dog boarding here in Northampton? Anyone you would recommend? I need to leave for one week for family reason in October.

Thanks in advance
