Re: [Wikimedia-GH] 2nd April WMGH & NSBE meetup at Legon Update

Hello all, The above date has been cancelled, YET AGAIN. On that note, the event isn't happening as far as I know. If anything should be changed, Stephen will be more than happy to communicate here. Sorry for the false hopes. I thought this could happen, but it appears the date might never get concrete and it'll keep being postponed.
