The Mathematical Calender: Maths Jam!
This one is a short and simple post!
Once a month maths enthusiasts from across the UK, and in some of the major cities around the world, can meet up (at a local pub in the UK) to do some maths based puzzles and to just chat to others who like maths.
Puzzle sheets are sent out to the organisers each month and with everybody across the country working on the same set of puzzles it can lead to some fun twitter banter. Of course the puzzle sheets are optional, many people bring their own puzzles and games along or just go along to socialise. Its a fun and informal event with groups in most of the cities in the UK. While the attendance isn't always large the people are all very friendly in my experience. If you are looking for a local place to share your enthusiasm for maths then I'd recommend you check out if there is a nearby maths jam group. If there isn't one nearby you could think of making your own!
