Well, following this we had our first East London Wiki Meetup last Wednesday. We met in Waitrose which is very quiet on a Wednesday evening. It is also cheap if you have a Waitrose card, which means that you can get a free coffee paying the cos

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Wikimeet survey

The big advantages of cafes and pubs is that people can come and go, can order food and drink if they wish, and don't look odd if the numbers are small or large. Of course those of us who are driving don't drink alcohol at the pub meets, and I have never found this a problem. We have occasionall

Whilst I take Fae's point, I don't think we need to call closing time on meeting in pubs, but rather innovate other places to meet. And yes, this has been discussed for ages, but all it needs is for someone to find a venue and start organising a meet up, rather than talk about it. all the best Fa

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Wikimeet survey

After having been discussed with many non-pub suggestions raised in the past few years, I'd really like to see this change. I hope the survey supports that viewpoint. People have many reasons for not wanting to meet in pubs, not just religious. I've been teetotal for the last 15 years, and after s

Hi, Great idea Mike! The Leeds wikimeet was pretty white and male apart from Katherine Bavage. That was partly what prompted my suggestion that the forthcoming York meet be moved to a cafe rather than a pub. I'm also hoping to get some uptake from t

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Wikimeet survey

I am sure that many of the regulars have talked about change. For example, Fabian Tompsett has suggested to me (and I have talked to others) about alternatives. Fabian's idea was to have an "East London" meeting, based perhaps in the "Idea Stores" (modern libraries in Tower Hamlets). London Wik

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Wikimeet survey

Hi Mike This sounds a very worthwhile exercise and subject to comments by D'Arcy and the staff team I think it's very likely that this could be done association with WMUK. No doubt the bulk of the work in preparing the survey and analysing the results would be done by a group of volunteers,
