Well, I would. Except for the lack of drinking that I do, the shame I have for my abysmal magical ability, and my severe lack of decent talking points that I could bring to the table that are of semi-interestingness (World of Warcraft, hating callers in my workplace, things from the series of tubes called teh intarwebnets...)

Ok, I'm grown up a bit more and am now less unwilling to leave the house. Anyone else up for a Swansea meetup? I know The Beard is Abertawe based, so is anyone else?

I'm up for that!

I'm a bit worried on hearing that the aquarium trainer in California was killed by Wales.

I live just outside Neath and looking for the other magic enthusiasts in the area. I have a poor repertoire, mainly a bunch of easy Royal Road card tricks, but I figure the occasional pub meet would help motivate me and improve my presentation.

I can't really afford to get down to the Cardiff Society meets so if you guys get something together and don't mind an extra bod, let me know.

Cheers!

I have seen mention of a South Wales Magical Society on a few magicians websites. They used to meet in Swansea supposedly.

Does anyone happen to know if it is still going and if so, who to contact?

Worth a try...

Cheers, Mandrake!

I haven't found any other solid info other than what you have mentioned and I'd like to think my Google Foo is strong.

I guess I'll just phone and cross my fingers.

Mr Beard and myself will be going for a drink at 3pm tomorrow (18th) in Swansea, so if anyone feels like joining, please come along.

Topics on the menu will include that TV Derren Brown thing, how best to remove rust from a 4" nail and what in the name of Vernon is that man drinking?!

Expected venue - The Bank Statement (Natwest crossed with a pub down Wind Street)
Expected time - 3pm
