In March 2009, four fledgling twitterers met at Cafe Nero in Tunbridge Wells…

Roll on three years… and that initial meeting has became the Twuttle we know and love today. We’ve never actually counted the number of different people who have attended Twuttle, but estimates vary between 300 and 400!  And that doesn’t count the meetings that have followed in the Twuttle style – our very own ‘sister’ event Twuddle, and the meet-ups in the wider local area – Crowborough’s Cruddle, Sevenoaks’ Oakuddle and Skuttle, plus similar events in Tonbridge, Lewes and Edenbridge.

The place may have changed (we quickly outgrew Café Nero) but Twuttle still takes place every Wednesday morning at 10am until noon. The Trinity Theatre is the current home and we must say thanks to them for hosting the event – but we must also say a big thank you to past venues, which have included The Royal Wells, Pigwideon & Pye and Bean.

Three years on, and Twuttle is still the same ‘unstructured’ meet-up where people can simply chat and exchange thoughts & ideas. From these informal meetings many friendships and relationships (both business and personal) have been formed. It’s working as well now as it did at the very beginning, and for many, it is the cornerstone of their week.

If you’ve never attended, this could be the ideal opportunity! To celebrate our third anniversary, we are holding what we hope will be a record breaking meeting – let’s get more people to attend a single Twuttle than ever before! The THIRD ANNIVERSARY TWUTTLE will be held at the Trinity on the 7th March. It is your chance to not only to mingle with the Tunbridge Wells Twitterati but to become one yourself!

And did we mention there will be cake?!

(The hashtag for the event is #twuttle3 – please mention this in your tweets!).
