<br />
#spbkchat has been running just under three years with the format staying the same that whole time. As part of the brainstorm we decided to try a few new things.<br />
<br />
The first thing we are going to trial is a slightly later start time. For a few weeks at least we are going to start chat at 8.30pm Australian Eastern Standard Time, which is 10.30pm New Zealand.<br />
<br />
We are also going to start trialling a shorter chat. The chat will officially last for one hour but it doesn't matter if people want to hang around chatting after the official time is over. Some weeks there are lots of things to talk about and others not so much.<br />
<br />
We will review the changes in the next couple of months and see if participants are happy with the changes or want to revert back to the original format.<br />
<br />
In addition to brainstorming about the format, we came up with the topics to cover the next few months. I have now created the schedule which will take us through to March 2014.<br />

This past week's foodie chat was a bit quiet, but still very tasty.<br />
<br />
This Thursday is a general chat.<br />

Also, please note, daylight saving has ended in New Zealand, which means for the rest of the world, the chat time will shift as we fell backwards an hour.<br />
<br />
I'll put an alert on twitter closer to the actual time :-)<br />
