Editing events in TOG Hackerspace

We will be continuing our monthly editing events in TOG Hackerspace with a special Hallowe'en themed night on Wednesday 31 September from 7-9pm. Whether you are new to Wikipedia or an old hand at editing, come along for a chat with fellow Wikimedians, who can even suggest an extra spooky article to edit! All you need is a laptop, WiFi, pizza and Hallowe'en treats will be provided!

To get a reminder about this and other upcoming event sign up on the TOG Meetup page, or follow us on Facebook or Twitter.
