At the last meeting there was a brief discussion of developer groups meeting around the country. I thought the following links might be of interest:
The ACCU's developer groups. (Do we want to be listed here?)

The Extreme Tuesday Club
The Linux User Groups also have a strong developer representation:

2008-05-12 Meeting
It was interesting to return to SomethingInNottingham after a long absence - no familiar faces. But we found each other.
Most of the conversation was "getting to know" each other's perspective on software development and the role of "Agile". We had a range of developers present - from small teams with one set of fingers on the codebase to large geographically dispersed teams. Even so, a lot of common ground.
One issue we discussed at length was Outsourcing - everyone had bad experiences to relate. I'm not sure if it was in this context, but Andrew Murphy volunteered an experience report for the next meeting.
In view of the bank holiday, I've set the next meeting in three weeks time. (But if people want to meet next week they have my permission. I might even turn up.)
