Wikipedia talk:Meetup/Manchester 4

Meetup reasoning
If you're wondering what the reasoning behind this meetup is, it can be summed up by: So, let's have a meetup! Mike Peel (talk) 22:14, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I missed the last one due to a cold
 * Have been waiting for someone to organise the next, but it doesn't seem to have happened
 * There's interesting things going on at the moment, in the form of the Wikimania bid, and the reincarnation of Wikimedia UK (can reincarnation happen before the first one dies?)

Apologies

 * 1) Gordo (talk) 19:38, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Ian A Holton (Poeloq - Talk to me), unlikely to be able to make it. Unless I can combine it with a visit to North Wales over the weekend.

Date
Mid-march was suggested in the IRC discussion, so how about Sunday the 15th March? Mike Peel (talk) 19:50, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Works for me. I'm thinking a saturday might be a bit better if people are sleeping on floors, however; if it is a Sunday the floor-owners might have to go to work early the following morning. Ironholds (talk) 07:48, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Beware the Ides? Gordo (talk) 10:15, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually in Roman times "March" was the first month, not the third. As long as we don't organise it for 15 January we should be fine. Ironholds (talk) 10:17, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I think Saturday would be better for most people. I've put 15th on the page for now.  Majorly  talk  17:44, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * The Wikimedia UK AGM is pencilled in for late Feb to mid March. Presumably we should avoid a clash - would you prefer to have the wikimeet before or after? AndrewRT(Talk) 14:22, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Judging by comments here and on the main page, 14th I think would be better, being a Saturday - more trains, can stay out later if necessary. I'll make the change on the page, let's not argue over this for ages before it comes and goes :-)  Majorly  talk  18:29, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Goodgood. Agreement on the date, 1pm will give those of us outside the area a chance to make our way in to manc. Ironholds (talk) 18:36, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

I can't do that date (girlfriend's birthday) but I wasn't likely to make it anyway. Count me out- hope it goes well. J Milburn (talk) 22:40, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
