It was last January that myself, Andrew Gribben and Simon McCartney decided that enough was enough and Lisburn should to earn its place on the global Open Coffee movement and start our own in Lisburn, days later we had our first meeting in Cafe Vic Ryn on the Moira road and it was born.

Things have changed alot over the last year, more and more people are coming to the meetings and with every new person the dynamic changes ever so slightly but always in a good way.

What started out as nearly a purely techy meeting, now has a good mix of tech, business, photography, news, politics and humour.  As ever no agenda is set and who ever can make it shows up and the conversation flows from there.

The time has changed to,  our first meetings were at 9.30am and we even had a few evening meetings to but majority rules and the majority of people find it easier to come first thing in the morning before work so we now kick off at 7.15am besides….. Lisburn people don’t really go out at night anyway !

So who goes, well I shall now attempt to list everyone that has made Open Coffee Lisburn a success over the last year and what they do…. Please accept my apologies if I get it so horribly wrong and also, just go ahead and add your details in the comments box !
