I welcome this initiative and would be prepared to come up from London on the basis of my travel expenses being paid by Wikimedia UK. However, as two people have already said they are unavailable, I would like confirmation that the meeting will take place, preferably by Friday lunchtime. all the best Fabian (User:Leutha) > Message: 1 > Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2012 15:09:08 +0100 > From: Charles Matthews <charles.r.matthews(a)ntlworld.com> > To: UK Wikimedia mailing list <wikimediauk-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> > Subject: [Wikimediauk-l] Cambridge coffee morning this Saturday > > As previously mentioned to the list, I want to do some meetup-lite > events connected with training; and the first will consist of my being > at the CB2 cybercaff in Cambridge from 10 am to 1 pm this Saturday 21 > July.

As previously mentioned to the list, I want to do some meetup-lite events connected with training; and the first will consist of my being at the CB2 cybercaff in Cambridge from 10 am to 1 pm this Saturday 21 July.

For those who are unfamiliar with CB2: it is at http://www.cb2bistro.com/ and on Google Maps http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=CB1%2B2LD&ll=52.204674,0.136503&spn=0.01166… actually on the corner of East Road and Norfolk Street.
