The Board was very clear to me - only free or nearly free (i.e. £10) would do! If we're not able to get a free room, I guess we can start looking at non-free ones. On Mar 8, 12:38 am, Thomas Dalton thomas.dal...@gmail.com wrote: 2009/3/7 Andrew Turvey ratur...@yahoo.co.uk: Hi all,

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] AGM in Manchester

Personally, I think a meeting in a pub or even a pub room gives a very different impression to a meeting in a university room, and we need to bear that in mind. Imagine giving a presentation or holding hustings. Although we're only small now, I hope this is the start of something big. I say let's

Speaking personally, this is a major PITA. I may not be able to fund train tickets to Manchester, so I suppose I'll be on the coach. Joy! 2009/3/7 Andrew Turvey ratur...@yahoo.co.uk: Hi all, Unfortunately we've drawn a blank with finding a suitable free venue in Birmingham, so we've decided
