EA Sheffield is relaunching as a city group! Come to our first social on Thursday.
Check out the new website or subscribe to the EA Sheffield event newsletter.
You can help shape EA Sheffield by filling out this survey. It only has 6 quick questions. You can also always give anonymous feedback.
There are still a few inactive accounts from the uni group. For now, just use the EA Forum group page, the Facebook page and the website as a source of information while we get all the links updated.
Really happy to see this! Thanks for getting it going again :)
Hey! Awesome that you are starting the group again! Just thought I would share our website template in case you are interested!

If you were to run courses we can also help with marketing it!
Ps. I really liked your forum post on the animal-conference! :)
Thanks! I actually quite like a minimalist website for now. I wanted it to be free and future proof, so I went with a simple open source Jekyll theme as the base. Here is the source code if anyone wants to clone the EA Sheffield website: https://github.com/EA-Sheffield/EA-Sheffield.github.io
I might buy a custom domain at some point, but I am not sure it's worth the money.
For now, the focus of EA Sheffield is mostly to just offer community and support for people who are already into EA, rather than market and grow it. But maybe I'll get back to you on that if I have more bandwidth for this in the future! Amplify sounds interesting - good luck with it!
Nice! I'm down in Sheffield during points, would love to visit when I am around!
Thanks for your work on this @matthes! I helped run this group as a university group around 2017-2020. I'm glad to hear it's starting up again. @Matt Goodman , @Callum Hinchcliffe might be interested.
Yes, very happy to hear about this! I've reached out to you on here @matthes
