The last one (which was our first) was held in the function room above a bar and could easily have been recorded had we thought of it. The next one will be held alongside a conference so will be in some kind of conference room or lecture theatre (I'm not sure of the details) so shouldn't be a problem. They are likely to just get bigger from there! _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
