Just down the road from me. I'm sure it would make
a great spot for a
meetup. In 20-odd years' time!

Toton sounds convenient - fast train service I hear.

Sadly I'm on my way to the Hebrides the weekend of the AGM.

Stamford does have a

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.

Those aren't close. I'd prefer Nottingham, Stamford and Oakham are a long
way from Derbyshire which has trains and buses to Nottingham.

Sounds great - we will give you as much help as you want from the office
end.

Hi folks,
I've been keen to establish a meetup in the East Midlands for a while
(the only one anywhere in the Midlands at the moment is in Coventry), and
since we're holding WikiConference UK 2013 in Lincoln, now would seem like
the time to get something going.
To that end, I'm looking for some input. I'm considering putting it in
Derby, Nottingham, or Lincoln (Derby because it has the best transport
links, Nottingham because it's the biggest city in the region, and Lincoln
because that's where the AGM is; I ruled out Leicester due to its proximity
to Coventry), so if you would consider coming to a meetup in this area and
you have a preference for any of those three cities, I want to hear it. :)
Thanks,
Harry Mitchell
