It's been called Friends' Newsletter since April 2014 when it started going to company members, those who signed up independently (either through an online form or on one of WMUK flyers), and some who said yes during a post WLM survey. It replaced the previous Members' Newsletter which only

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] What Volunteer Equipment should we buy?

Hi Gordo (and all) I'm not sure exactly when the name changed (certainly before Autumn 2015) but we only produce one newsletter, which is currently called the Friends' Newsletter. It's meant to indicated 'friends' in the broadest sense, meaning allies, rather than the traditional voluntary sector

Hi Stuart, It's not what you asked, I know, but WMUK should consider investing in some new merchandise - using Wikipedia branding, not the WMUK logo because nobody has any idea what the latter is, which sort of defeats the point. I (re-)learnt at Wikimania that hats can be very useful outreach

The only thing I can say about microphones is that when I was recording bands in the 1970s, we mostly used Shure SM57s and SM58s. They were expensive but unbelievably rugged. You could use a cheap condenser microphone to mike up a flute or for "filling in", but the SM57s always sounded better when
