The UK SQL community has never had so many events in such a short space of time. Last week there were three days of SQLBits and this week all 15 SQL User Groups have held a free event with each meeting having a session presented by a SQL Server MVP. This figure includes three user groups (Cambridge, Essex and Maidenhead) who had their very first meetings this week, what a baptism of fire!

We’re now on the final straight and we enter Microsoft’s Cardinal Place offices in London where T-SQL guru Itzik Ben-Gan will be speaking. We have several prizes to give away by our sponsors including a Pass 2010 Summit DVD! Not only that but all the user group leaders are going to do a talk on “The A – Z of SQL”

I’d like to thank the whole team who have made this possible. As the leader of a new group it was all finalised by the time I had joined, but I do know how much hard work they had put in.

It promises to be a great evening of SQL Server, I hope to see some of you there!
