Yes! Anyone can come along, and welcome to Steemit. I was up in Manchester a couple of months ago for the CoinFest UK and Crypto art Gallery, it's a great city.
Birmingham Meet-up- the plan is that we meet up in a pub, have a good chat and see if we can answer any questions. It's a great way to meet other people on Steemit.
We are going to SteemFest in Lisbon in November too.
