Stamford does have a community<http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Stamford_Project_Wikipedia_training>of people who are finding their feet as far as editing Wikipedia is concerned. It would be nice to see a Wikimeet started there, but if it's not particularly easy for people to get to then another location may be preferable. It looks like the more successful Wikimeets are in urban areas, perhaps because there are good transport connections, so a city such as Nottingham would be a good idea. If the AGM in Lincoln gets a lot of local interest and the Nottingham Wikimeet flounders it could perhaps be moved.
