We gave a talk at Brrism (Bristol Social Media) in April 2010 about "Social Media and Coworking" - see the video here and slides here
Judy Heminsley of workfromhomewisdom.com interviewed us about coworking and Jelly in January 2010 - see her article here
If you are thinking of starting your OWN Jelly then you can also check out her excellent "everything you need to know" guide here
What's this all about then ?
Hey, thanks for stopping by ...
- Do you work from home, or trudging from coffeeshop to coffeeshop in search of wifi and power ?
- Wish that "working for yourself" didn't always have to mean "working by yourself" ?
- Getting "cabin fever" and desperate for a change of scene, some inspiration and motivation ?
Sound familiar ? Then our programme of regular "Jelly" coworking gatherings in Bristol and Bath are what you need !
"Errr ... what's a 'Jelly’?" - see here and here
"… and what's coworking?" - see here and here
Intrigued ? Then follow us on Twitter @CoWorkingWest where we're trying to spread the word about coworking and Jelly etc. in these parts.

We're always interested in hearing from new venues in Bristol or Bath who would like to hold a Jelly every month or so.
We hope to get enough venues on board that we can have a regular programme of meetups going, about once per week.
If you have any suggestions, let us know via the Twitter account above.
Who comes to Jelly then ?
All sorts of people - and not just tecky-types (although they are welcome too) !
(Oh, and don't worry you don't have to be on Twitter to join us either !)
So, is it any good ?
Well we think it's great, but we're probably biased or brainwashed.
You can check out what some other people have said about our Jellies and what they have got out of them here:
We're always keen the hear what people think about our Jellies and get feedback, suggestions etc..
If you see (or have written) a blog post etc. that we've missed then please let us know and we'll add it those here.
But I'm nowhere near you, darn ...
Hey don't worry - Jelly wasn't our idea (but gosh we wish that it was !).
Jelly is community thing, and anyone can get involved - if there isn't one near you then you could always start your own !
The best place to start is here.
Who's doing all this anyway ?
Jellies in Bristol and Bath are organised by local freelancer Lee Cottier.
