I have just had an email from Mark Ginnebaugh welcoming me to the role of PASS UK Regional Mentor. This was a role previously carried out by Simon Sabin but he has recently stepped down due to other pressures on his time so Chris Testa O’Neill and I have been appointed. There are 16 user groups in the UK currently and they are all taking part in SQL Relay on 3rd to 6th Oct. If you can get to any of the meetings then please come along and help boost the SQL Community in your area. I’m looking forward to working with Chris and the PASS Chapters in the UK for the time that I am a Regional Mentor and supporting them in any way I can. If you see me at SQLBits don’t be shy, come up and have a chat, if you don’t see me then please do make an effort to visit Community Corner where other user group leaders will be talking to conference attendees and explaining the benefits of joining your local user group.
