I, unfortunately, can't make it, nor to Birmingham either, I fear. :-(

I've said before, I'm happy to serve on this (though I'm equally happy
to let more experienced persons do so instead). I think my "role" will
be more getting projects up and running and seeing how they go -
feeding into my PhD. On directors and trustees, I thought I'd forward
to the list Andrew(w)'s helpful synopsis:

The directors are the directors of the non profit making company that

They are responsible to the membership for running the company with a
view to achieving the objectives. Once the company is a registered
charity (assuming our objects pass scrutiny), the charity commission
will know these people as trustees - they are the same people but they
also assume the responsibility for reporting to the commission.

I could maybe make another date to do this - possibly the 28th as
suggested on [[m:Wikimedia_UK]]. (Don't have fax - or fancy email
gifs!)
