Thats right, one of many things we have planned on Thursday night is a good old game of Bingo but with a twist. Ballsh*t Bingo is going to be there to inject some humour as well as giving everyone an excuse to talk to each other – plus you get a free drink if you join in, whats not to like!

Below are the instructions for the game. Upon entry you will all receive a coloured animal sticker that will also act as a name badge. After that simply follow the rules of the game to join in. Click the image to see it in alls its glory.

Not long now until the fun starts all over again! We’ve got some new and big ideas for this forthcoming event but we’ll be keeping them under wraps a little longer. In the meantime go over to our Facebook event page to tell us whether you can attend.

What do all the coloured circles and animals mean?! watch our Twitter and Facebook feeds to find out soon.

How Meetdraw helped Pixelfish

So then, Meetdraw has just completed its fourth event but what exactly has come out of these gatherings beyond the consumption of a lot of booze!

Well I’m pleased to report that here in Pixelfish land we have managed to secure the services of a rather talented student from the Meetcounter event in October. As we are the new kids on the block so to speak, we used this as an opportunity to meet and talk to others within the creative digital industry around Bournemouth but also keeping an eye on some of the development talent out there.

I was most impressed when meeting student Chris White, first of all having the initiative to attend such an event rather than playing on an Xbox back in his student pad! Having graduated recently myself I can appreciate the pressures to stay out late and when getting up early means 3pm.

Chris was a breath of fresh air and promptly sent us an email after the event to arrange a meeting over potential work. We took him on for a brief trial and it quickly became apparent that we had a very talented guy at our disposal and with this Chris has become the latest paid up member of the Pixelfish team.

So who exactly is writing this gibberish you are reading? Well it is me, Dan Hinton, co founder of Pixelfish, you can find our home here – www.pixelfishcreative.com. Having started up Pixelfish with Adam Bowen we are keen to do our bit and help put an end to the trend within the creative industries that involves giving unpaid placements to students and graduates.

Meetdraw then, has been the platform for us to enjoy a drink or two with fellow digital creatives but more importantly provide a crucial middle man for meeting freelancers and students out there. It is with this that we owe a big thank you to the head honchos that have organised Meetdraw. It is events like this that will help put Bournemouth on the map as one of the places in the UK to come and work within the creative digital industry.
