You know, here in Edinburgh I could find dozens of venues where it
might be a pub, but allowed those under 18; or, it was open to all, but
also served alcohol.
What I never-ever-ever want is the same venue as we had today.
I've been in better-presented student squats, that were fighting

We have pubs in Oxford, Coventry, Cambridge, Manchester and now Liverpool
that are usually relatively quiet and uncrowded, so conversation is much
easier. Dan Haigh and I have done informal initial training a couple of
times in the pub - it's easy enough one-to-one and you can get a new editor
star
I'd also say that a noisy pub isn't the most welcoming of venues for people
new to the movement as well.

I started attending meetups because of a watchlist notice, and we get lots
of people every year who come to London meetups because of that notice. We
have also had some success in the past with inviting editors who we know
are in or near London.
As for donors, Fabian and I ran a couple of training

So there were 10 of us, which is abou
The MEN would certainly be a good place to approach.
Even if people don't turn up because of the piece, it might do a little to
raise awareness.

Still worth doing - getting people to know we exist is a good start.
How was it - was there a good turn-out?

Not sure how it would work on a donor level - maybe Katherine or Stuart may
have some thoughts - but I can certainly send something to an appropriate
Manchester outlet. Is the Manchester Evening News still the go to outlet up

This is definitely a great idea, well done. :-) I think the last time that
local ads were tried for events was back in 2010 with Britain Loves Wikipedia

Another option is for WMUK to invite local donors to come along to them - I
think
Sure. I can send you some welcome booklets and annual reviews, too. I'll
make sure they get sent today.
