Dear Mike Good survey. Is it too late to add a contacts section at the end for people who would like to leave their details so that they can receive a summary of the survey findings? Kind regards D'Arcy On 20 September 2015 at 17:32, Michael Peel wrote: > Hi all, > > The

Hi all, Thanks for your comments! And sorry for the delay in moving this forward. I think it's now pretty much finalised, so if anyone has any last comments please let me know. The latest version is at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mike_Peel/Wikimeet_survey#Survey In response to a couple

My feeling is that London is such a big city that it could support a number of new initiatives like this at different points of the compass, while keeping the regular meetup as a pub lunch in Pederel's Oak. I will keep my eyes open to see if anyone else steps forward on this. I'd be keen to

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Wikimeet survey

Well, following this we had our first East London Wiki Meetup https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meetup/East_London/1 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 cost

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

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
