The list wil get used for what it ends up getting used for, by which I mean recruiters are part of the community and will have to decide for themselves whether they want to post here. But for what it's worth, I personally don't like job postings on the Python-uk list, and I applaud the idea to create a separate UK jobs list.

Hey all,
We're having two Northants Geeks meets in December.
On Thursday the 9th we're meeting, as usual in the Malt Shovel Pub at
7:30pm.
On Thursday the 16th we're having a curry evening at the Tamarind
restaurant on Wellingborough road.
If you want to come to the meetup on the 9th then just turn up! If you
want to come to the curry evening then let me know so that I can book
spaces.
All the best,
Michael
