We can support this with expenses so you wouldn't be out of pocket - plus if you can come to the office its a good opportunity to meet the staff team and try out our new bean bags :) The portal 'how to' on wiki is here<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Portal_guidelines>- it may be you haven't written this type of template before but could figure it out :) Thanks! *Katherine Bavage * *Fundraising Manager * *Wikimedia UK* +44 20 7065 0752 Wikimedia UK is a Company Limited by Guarantee registered in England and Wales, Registered No. 6741827.
