Christmas is coming

The new John Lewis Advert is out so we now know that Christmas is coming to distract you all from lockdown

If you are not soo keen on saccharine adverts it looks like Lidl also isn’t and is even taking a sideswipe at ALDI carrots in their Christmas Ad here. Although we still think that the music should be less soporific and much more Christmassy – get this old school recorded off the TV footage Andrex puppies and Slade singing – what’s not to love? (plus it gave us an excuse to put a puppy on our page – they are very on trend)

On the subject of Christmas has anyone checked out the new Mozilla Privacy not included site for when you consider your shopping options this year? Is your gift not creepy or very creepy when it comes to Data collection?

Merry Christmas – See you all on the other side

We would like to wish all of you a Wonderful Christmas and a BIG thank-you for all your support this year, both Companies and Members.

We have plenty planned for next year and there are also a couple of offerings with early deadlines that we have been approached about so we are just giving you a heads up on them. Think of it as an early christmas present!

Simpleweb Founders Academy Scholarship

Simpleweb are offering to help ambitious founders who wouldn’t normally have access or the means to pay for the Founders Academy programme. They’re offering one fully-funded scholarship position for the programme starting in late January 2020. For details of the Founders Academy please see their website here. The Acadamy is worth £5000 and the deadline for entries is on the 6th of January so get your skates on! They are looking at Tech related startups.

Girlgeek dinners Bristol have a few placemarkers currently for next year:

The ACCU Conference looks like it is running in March this year so we have put a placemaker in for our yearly update. We normally publicise the local meetups and groups to have a chance to engage and meet people. Any meetups wanting to present feel free to let us know on info@wthub.org and we will try and accommodate you if you are looking to improve diversity in the tech industry (our core purpose).

Kinneir Dufort are a new and very welcome member and are looking to host on the 16th of April

XMOS ran a brilliant event for us last time and are up for hosting another event on the 21st of May.

WE are looking for anyone wanting to sponsor a February event on the 20th of February or later in the year, please contact us on info@wthub.org if you are interested.

Similarly, Bath Girlgeek dinners are also keen to find sponsors in the Bath region.

We will be announcing Workshop Wednesday workshops as we sort them out – there is an option to engage through sponsorship and training workshops to engage and recruit visit our networking page for details.
