Skeptics in Belfast

    Hey there folks,

    I've become fairly interested in skepticism in the last few months, primarily through a number of wonderful podcasts. I'm living in Dublin but in three weeks I'm moving to Belfast. I've been doing a bit of digging and it would appear that there's nothing skeptic-esque in the city.
    I was drinking with a friend and my missus last night and we've decided to have a go at organising a Belfast skeptics in the pub-style gathering. I'm not looking for anything massive or ground-breaking, just a bit of entertainment and intelligent conversation.
    So, I've two requests: one, if you're in Belfast and want to get involved then reply, PM or tweet me (@conorp). Two, if you can offer any advice or support I'd love to hear it. I'm just a n00b at this lark and am fairly excited at the idea of getting a couple of critical minds together.

    Looking forward to hearing back,
    Conor/ Jimminy-Boi

    Hey that sound's like an idea.

    You should call up to the Dublin SiTP before you move. It should be some time soon.
    There you can see how these usually go and get advice on how to set one up.

    Well nothing on Facebook yet, but one is due.

    Join the group anyway and you'll get an invite when it does appear.

    The next one is Sat 11th.
    I got this one 'going' so I'd be happy to have a chat - though it is not that hard!
