Generally, at UK outreach events, there has usually been an enwiki admin or
two around who can create accounts for people. Admins (and accountcreators)
are not subject to account creation limits.

When you're running an event, sometimes you want
to help lots of people
create accounts on Wikimedia sites. To prevent spamming/vandalism,
ordinarily there's a cap on the number of accounts that can be created
from one IP address in a single day. But there's a way to ask for a
temporary removal of that restriction. The Foundation's Maggie Dennis
has written a quick HOWTO:

and so please feel free to link to it in your outreach HOWTOs, event
planning checklists, and so on. Thanks, Maggie!
