C00kie:
I don't really use Kik all that much, but it usually seems to be the preferred method people on FF use when talking off site.

I have created a group called FF Manchester Meet (Currently has a picture of a pumpkin as the avatar sorry).

You should be able to use this image to scan and join the group... If someone could try it and let me know it works that would be great haha.

Alternitively, just leave your Kik handle in the forum thread and I can add you to the group!
