There is only one Birmingham Perl Mongers group so it shouldn't have been too hard to find us :) Plus the fact that the previous announcement (which you replied to) already mentioned the UK. Maybe it's just that Europeans are more aware that (the original) Birmingham is in the UK ;)

Well, yes, I first thought "Birmingham Alabama?". But then that didn't make sense for a Europe conference.

I think the point I was trying to make is that too many announcements go out leaving out key pieces of details that are painfully obvious to the announcers but are completely lost on the audience. This was a gentle nudge in that direction, and maybe a heads-up for other annoucements here.
