In place of a more useful researched answer (as I'm in a lecture) but does
the chapter not employ/contract people to manage the websites and IT?
I'm a bit out of touch with chapter things these days, but I'm sure this
was a thing that the contractors used to handle for staff?

Hi all,
Just wondered if anyone knew of any UK-based Wikidata 10th birthday events
happening next weekend?
Doesn't look like the chapter currently has any (public) plans to do
anything - is there much Wikidata interest in the chapter's sphere of
influence?
