Is there a decent strobist group in the Birmingham area?

I've looked at one who choose to hold most of their meets in different assembly halls which doesn't seem very interesting to me.

Please let me know if you know of any others.

I've heard Tip Top studios have a good group, it's something like £30 for life membership. They're based in Jewellery Quarter and should be easy enough to find on Google!
Alternatively just do what I did, find a like-minded photographer or two and just meet up as and when you can to swap advice & ideas and have a laugh in general
Sometimes I just don't know who I am

I am a member of the tiptop group AND have met Eddie at Gloucester meets.

Strictly speaking Tiptop is not a strobist group, because they own and run a studio, but they are a group of likeminded photographers of varying abilities who get together a couple of times a month to shoot and socialise. They are lovely people and we shoot a variety of things.

Eddie, if you'd like to message me, I can help and discuss as a Birmingham based photographer.

Thanks for the replies.
I'm looking for a specific strobists group rather than a group of general photography enthusiasts.

I'm now thinking of organising a strobist style meet and see what develops from there.

Yeah, thats I thought Eddie, which is why I pointed out that they arent strictly a strobist group.

There is a group on Flickr, I think, called Midland Strobists, but it isnt all that active.

If you arrange something I would happily come along too!! Let me know if you need help with the organisation!
