I've had a look at EPIK, but it's not clear from the website
where most of the events take place. I assume it would be in and
around Canterbury? Unfortunately I'm in Tunbridge Wells, so I
couldn't really be further from you while still being in Kent.
Does EPIK tend to do much outside of Canterbury?

Most of the events are held at our office in Hersden, east of
Canterbury. That said Dorine is looking for more to setup hubs
across the county so best thing to do is take a look at the EPIK
events which tend towards being organised on MeetUp.com and come
along to one of the events where details of how to setup hubs can be
shared.<br>

<div>I've also had a look at Codeclub (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.codeclub.org.uk/">https://www.codeclub.org.uk/</a>)
and I will probably sign up and see what happens with that,
but if I can't find an existing group nearby then I'll be
faced with either the prospect of travelling a good distance
or setting up my own group which is a lot of effort to go to
before really getting a taste for it.</div>

See above! I'm sure something can be setup. :-)<br>

<br>
I've previously mentioned my connections with EPIK (<a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.epik.org.uk"
target="_blank">www.epik.org.uk</a> and <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.facebook.com/epikprojectuk"
target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/epikprojectuk</a>),
well it has been floated that we, the Kent Linux User Group
team up for an event at multiple sites with EPIK.<br>
<br>
The idea being that as EPIK involves a number of open source
projects providing an easy way for kids to get into tech
(more specifically programming) using such things as Linux,
it seems a natural mutual objective for both of us to team
up and provide a way for the kids to see what Linux can do
and for us to inspire the next gen of techies and perhaps
pull in more membership with the parents.<br>
<br>
At this stage its a little vague what and when things to
kick off, so my question is to everyone, as Linux is now
reasonably easy and the need for a user group is slowly
fading, we need a new direction and this could be the one,
can I count on support from the membership here for
volunteers to come forward and talk, show and tell, or
mentor if this was to happen?<br>
<br>
We have a large amount of skill within this list, in many
areas of technology and it would be great to pass on what we
know to these kids who want to know and don't get it through
their current channels.<br>
<br>
As soon as I know more then I will expand on things.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Kev<br>
