4th June Manchester Girl Geek Dinner 3

When:
4th June 2009 at 7pm

Where:
Old Abbey Inn
Manchester Science Park
61 Pencroft Way
Manchester, Manchester M15 6AY
United Kingdom

What:
Girl Geek Dinners are organised all over the world. They are great fun
and provide a welcoming atmosphere for women to talk about technology
in an informal environment. A Girl Geek is simply a female with a
strong interest and passion in a subject (in this case Science,
Engineering and Technology). You don't have to work in a technical
role to come along. Just be prepared to enjoy some great food, drinks,
atmosphere and to meet some fantastic, engaging and like-minded
ladies!

Talks:
We have a talk by Lesley Allger! Come and listen to the experiences of
an older girl geek who has worked for nearly 30 years in BAE SYSTEMS.
Give her some inspiration to make the final 15 years as exciting and
rewarding!
I'm also pleased to welcome Dominic Hodgson from North Hub who will be
introducing us to all the technical events in the north.

Who can attend?
Any lady who wants to come along to a great evening of food, drinks,
fab atmosphere and the chance to socialise with other inspirational
ladies! Even though the event is for women, men are very welcome to
come along, as long as they are invited by a girl geek! This is to try
and keep the numbers even.

Details:
Sponsored by BAE Systems, there is a charge of £5 which includes a
drink and a BBQ at the lovely Old Abbey Inn in Manchester's Science
Park (http://eweri.com/Jm0 ). There's plenty of
free parking around the venue and it's not far from Oxford Road (taxis
will cost you a few quid or there's lots of buses to drop you off
outside the University or Infirmary).

I hope with this event we can introduce you to some more interesting
events and people in the area.

Tickets are available for £5 here:http://manchesterggd.eventbrite.com/
