For some of us, the idea of sitting in a park all day, drinking, eating, playing games and having an all-round laugh sits up there in our top five things to do in the Summer. For some of us, we need to get out in the open air as our jobs restrict us to the confounds of our computer, beavering away to create the next masterpiece website that our client is hovering over our back for.

If this sounds oh-so-familiar to you, the answer is in Warwickshire this Summer in the return of Geek In The Park.

Back in 2006, the Multipack hosted the first ever Geek In The Park which was a huge success. People travelled from all over the UK with their families for a day of sun, food and games in the beautiful surroundings of Jephson Gardens. In the evening, everyone contravened to The Jug and Jester, the local watering hole, for an open discussion with industry leaders Patrick Lauke and Bruce Lawson about accessibility on the Internet. Everyone enjoyed the day and were really looking forward to the next Geek In The Park.

After a year’s break, Geek In The Park 2008 returns to Leamington Spa on Saturday 9th August, this time promising to be just as enjoyable as last time, if not moreso.

Trevor Morris has managed to organise some fantastic speakers who will be announced very soon, as well as pulling out all the stops on a gorgeous website co-designed with Paul Lloyd. I suggest you sign up to the email announcements to be informed of future developments and announcements while you’re over there too.

The Multipack will also be going on a reccy to Leamington Spa on Saturday 14th June to find some suitable bars for the evening session of Geek In The Park, so if you fancy joining us, get to know some faces before August and generally have a good laugh, tag along! The finer details are all on Upcoming and it would be great if you added your name to the attendance list so we know who to expect on the day before moving on. We shall also be updating Twitter with our current location so be sure to follow us if you plan on joining in a bit later.

So put the date in your diary and be sure to get your train tickets to Leamington very soon. It should be a great day!
