I'm hoping to be at Brighton in a couple of weeks, should be fun, though
I'd be working.

Nudge. If anyone has photos on their camera from last weekend's Pride
in London, don't forget to upload them to Commons and add the 2017
category. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Pride_in_London_2017

I'm going to be able to join Newcastle Pride next weekend, the march
is on Saturday with the festival running from Friday through to
Sunday. It's one of the UK's largest events with over 12,500 joining
the parade last year. I'll be taking some photographs of the start. If
anyone is handy for Newcastle, it would make a neat photography
project, or maybe you just fancy the free festival events and the all
night clubbing that the city is famous for and could share some shots
afterwards that help capture the scene for prosperity. :-)

I'm also happy to help with the writing too, as I think I mentioned to
Harry on Saturday. I'm always happy to help any of our community who have
an idea for a blogpost to edit and publish it.

If you would both like to write up Harry's work on war memorials for the

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Give a lightning talk at this Saturday's AGM and meet up!

[Katherine Bavage]

Afternoon,

Harry how did the lightning talk go? Well I hope! Still keen to see some of
this written up and on the WMUK blog - I'm happy to help with writing it up
if you like?

Also Fae's post reminds me I need to see what capacity OSM has to tag
postboxes :D
