+{% block excerpt %}
+Last night was the first meetup of Cardiff’s [PHP South Wales user group][0]! It was a great first event, and it was great to meet a lot of new people as well as catch up some familiars within the 36 (according to meetup.com) attendees - including some [PHP South West][9] regulars.
+{% endblock %}
+
+{% block content %}
+Organised by Steve and Amy McDougall, it was held in Barclays’ [Eagle Lab][1] which was a great space, and it was cool to be back in Brunel House having worked in that building previously whilst at Appnovation.

+
+## Speakers
+
+[Rob Allen][2] was the main speaker, who gave an interesting talk and a brave live demo on serverless PHP and OpenWhisk. I always enjoy watching Rob speak, which I’ve done a number of times at different events, and it was great to be able to chat for a while after the meetup too.

+} %}
+
+We also had a couple of lightning talks, starting with [Ismael Velasco][3] giving an introduction to progressive web applications (PWAs). I can see some potential uses for this on my current work project, and I look forward to seeing the full talk soon).
+
+I gave an updated version of my [Tailwind CSS lightning talk][4], and enjoyed being able to show some examples of new sites using Tailwind such as [Laravel Nova][5], [Spatie][6]’s new website and PHP South Wales itself!

+
+## Conclusion
+
+It’s great to have a meetup in Cardiff again, and having thought about organsing something myself previously, I’m glad to see someone step forward to do so. This shows that there's still a strong PHP community in Cardiff and South Wales, and hopefully this will be the first meetup of many. I’ll look forward to seeing the local community grow!
+
+Thanks again to Steve and Amy for organising, Eagle Labs for hosting, the sponsors, and Rob and Ismael for speaking.
+
+It would be great to see even more people at the next one. If you’re interested, take a look at the [group’s website][0], [meetup.com group][7] and [Twitter profile][8]. Alternatively, get in touch with myself or one of the organisers for more information.
