Stuart Herbert has a new post about a new user group starting up in southwest UK:

London and the North West of the UK have their own successful PHP user groups...and it's time we had one here in the South West :) I've setup a PHP SW group on Google to get us started, and we're already talking about where (probably the centre of Bristol) and when to have our first meet-up. Why not join the group and the discussion?

There's already a first discussion going about the meeting location with plenty of suggestions. If you're in the area and are interested in attending, check out this Google group for more info.
