Social networking has become part of our lifeβs in such a big way. From Facebooking to tweets, Instagram and YouTube we all have found away to connect to the outside world in a post millennium way
my name is Stephen
I live in a market town just outside of Middlesbrough in the north east of England. Iβm 34 and a father to 2 wonderful children.
I work at Quorn Foods as a production operator and have been there for almost 15 years.
I got into blockchains and cryptocurrency when a work colleague @stevenwwood suggested checking out Steemit. I have been blogging now for the last 3 years on various platforms.
I came to Hive when the mirror happened but have only recently started to concentrate my efforts here.
Whatβs amazing about platforms like the Hive is that you get an insight into other peopleβs worlds throughout the world and meet amazing people from all corners of the globe.
That being said...
What is equally important in my opinion is also getting to know the people who are a little closer to home and by home I mean here in the U.K..
This opens up a plethora of many different opportunities and with a british attitude, could lead to Being the template for the rest of the world.
Here are a few ideas...

This is an opportunity that you would not want to miss.
The great thing about meet ups are that you get to meet the person/s behind the screen. You get the chance to socialise face-to-face with fellow U.K. members. Imagine how much you could talk about and how better you will get to know each other.
Not only would you be explaining you ideas but you could even showcase your ideas right in front of the platform.
Theses meet ups can be regional like north east meet, north west meet etc etc and be chaired by various organisers. Think live music from talented musicians on the platform. Seminars about blockchains and crypto schemes just to name a few. These local meets could build to national annual meet ( think Hive fest U.K. π¬π§) where all groups come together once a year and have a big festival. The money can be raised from the local meets and put towards the annual meet by doing auctions, raffles you name it.
As you can see, this idea has me excited and one person that is embracing this idea is @c0ff33a who is looking at having a meet up in Halifax this coming September.

No itβs not a form of torture, nor has it got anything to do with boats. Itβs simply about bringing in new members.
On-boarding is the name given to inviting and educating new members to the platform.
Ok, I know we can do this from the comfort of our own homes and a lot of people are doing just that through social media platforms like Twitter.
One person that is a pioneer in this field is @theycallmedan who has setup an onboarding website https://hiveonboard.com/ and is also leading the pack through his Twitter account @theycallmedan_ #hive.
But where do we in the U.K. fall into this. Well, imagine if you had a team of people that lives within your area and you decided to hold local seminars at universities, colleges and town halls. You could also setup a canvassing campaign in your areas, teaching people about blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, decentralisation and of course inviting them to join the network.
Thats just two ideas that little old me has floating around in my in educated kind so imagine what just a small team of people could achieve.

Hi, hopefully I'll see you at the Northern meeting!
Feel free to bring some Quorn! I'm quite a fan!
Hey nice to meet you. Yeah hopefully it will be a good get together. Been looking at all the arrangements ( travel, hotel, persuading the mrs) seems like I can do it. Hopefully you can too.
I don't think I've got anything going on that weekend, so it should all be fine!
Oh looking forward to meeting you Karl! Still remember the first ever long discussion we had on the education system that tested the two way character count to the max. Promise you will wear the beard!!! :D
There are a few questions I would like to ask you that few would be equipped to answer actually on the validity of living from crypto. I have long wished for the chance to meet some of the names from the community and I am in no doubt whatsoever that this will be a fabulous day!
Have a great weekend and an even better week to follow :D
Well I should still have the beard, I don't actually live off of crypto btw - Hive would have to quadruple in price for that to be a possibility, and stay there!
And just don't ask me anything about taxes, my advice there is just bury your head in the sand or put your fingers in your ears and sing 'lalala'.
Looking forward to it!
Quorn have some good vegan products! I am a fan :D
Yes we do a wide range now.
Yes! Its amazing! :D
We dont have that many different ones in Denmarn yet and it depends on the supermarket
I used to work at the Nissan plant in Sunderland, around 30 mins north of you. That is until Carlos got stiffed and stuck in jail, then they laid all the contractors off.
Hope you can make it to @c0ff33a's do. There has never been a northern meeting until now, it's a first.
Oh cool, I knew if I put out a post for U.K. people that it would start connections. I should definitely be going to the meet up as I am big supporter of these type of get togethers. ( as you can tell) thanks for dropping anchor on my post
Oh my Brother In Law just retired from the plant a few months ago.
Have no fear, Stephen will be there even if I have to drag him there... ((or cross his name out of the overtime book at work!!! My name has NEVER appeared in that shameful document!)
It's gonna be a fab day I have zero doubt! I have been struck by a feeling of right place right time for a little while now. I sincerely hope the blockchain is going to follow the trajectory I have started to envision. I hope you are able to bring both of your prospective guests along (please don't make me say @goblinknackers the name @dizzydiscovery is a little more sedate of course LOL)
Really looking forward to this... Nobody mention C19 Ok?
Seems like the meet up is really brewing now, look forward to meet everyone.

Welcome to Hive, from another Brit. I'm down south, but it looks like we are gaining a load of new users up your way. I'm sure the Halifax meet will be great, but it's a bit too far from me. Have fun!
It will be my first ever meet-up. Hope their are a lot more to come.
I'm sure it will be good. Say hi to everyone from me.
