If you can't find anybody closer, I could make it - it's about 130 miles by car
or about 3 hours by train - off-peak return £42.

Have you asked Roger Bamkin, as he's much closer?

Cheers

[Wikimediauk-l] Request for trainer assistance at an LGBT+ editathon next weekend

2017-02-02 Thread Katherine Bavage 
Hi all,

I've rather had this event fall in my lap - a friend mentioned she was
helping Bradford council manage the marketing for it's LGBT+ History month
activities, she put me in touch with the local council lead, and they've
agreed to provide a venue for free and help us get new editors along. I'm
working on a collections or archives partner or presence, failing that
we'll rely on online resources. The downside is to fit in with their
availability its come up at short notice.

Having checked in with a couple of regional trained trainers, they were not
available, and currently I'm running the event as the solo wikimedian - far
from ideal both because I'm not a trained trainer (or a hugely experienced
editor) but more importantly, having had to run an Art+Feminism workshop
solo last year, I just know how hard it is to run a high-quality session
for newbies single handed.

Would anyone be prepared to travel and help out? The session is 12 - 3pm on
the 11th of February in a building near both of bradfords city centre
stations or I'm confident I can book a parking space. Travel expenses can
be met by WMUK (with the caveat that there is a limit so at this late
notice that might rule out those of you very far away)

We really don't do a lot in this part of the world at the moment, and there
is no reason we could embed this as a repeat thing - the local Councillor
who is leading the activities programme is keen and they have the
facilities and captive student and resident audiences - they just need the
wikipedians with a will!

Let me know directly and by reply all. I will also share the event page
when I've finished draft (H/t to Fae whose Bishopgate event I've shameless
borrowed)  so you can suggest content/sign up as a remote participant/make
better.

Thanks

Kat
