So you want to start a User Group

But where do you begin? I’ve blogged about this from the reversed perspective on my own blog about finding user groups with a small section about what you can do if your thinking about getting one off the ground which you can read at http://blog.kilasuit.org/2016/04/17/how-to-find-local-user-groups-events-my-experience/ and it was only natural to eventually blog from the other side too although this has come up a bit earlier than I had planned to but alas it gets it done As the Coordinator for the UK PowerShell User Groups I learned a few things the hard way with setting up a user group and here are just a few things that you will need to get sorted first which will hopefully help you on your way.
