Hey! I've been to a few of the HNLondon meet ups and going to miss them a lot when I'm back in Newcastle this year.

If you want to chat at all about potentially setting something up in the North this year I'd be happy to help out. Not sure if I can dedicate myself full time to it though due to final year university demands hence why I'm not putting myself forward by myself to look into it.

It does not take too much work to get it started.

1) Pick a decent venue that has space and it not too noisy

2) Announce it on HN

3) Invite interesting people to come along.

We started the London meetup this way and even completely screwed up step one. You can see the original announcement at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1434964
