I expect my presence to have the same crowd pulling effect as Jimbo.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Oxford Wikimedians
If it's any help, we do have about 500 donors from the city of Oxford, and there are also members of WMUK from Oxford. I can't tell you who they are, but if you're planning an event or something similar, I can email them and ask them to contact you?

It might also be useful in future to know if there are any active Wikimedians currently studying at Oxford Brookes.
