As you might know, a new Board was elected last Saturday at the WikiConference in Bristol.

The new Board is:

Roger Bamkin (Victuallers) - Chair 

Andrew Turvey (AndrewRT) - Treasurer

Michael Peel (Mike Peel) - Secretary

Chris Keating (The Land)

Martin Poulter (MartinPoulter)

Ashley Van Haeften (Fae)

Steve Virgin (Steve Virgin)

Gemma Griffiths continues as a pro-bono public relations consultant to the Board, while Tom Dalton steps down as Treasurer.

I am sure I speak for the whole board when I say we are looking forward to working with the whole community over the coming year. Amongst the aims discussed on Saturday are professionalising the Chapter, achieving charity status, and announcing more exciting outreach projects and partnership - more on these things to come.

If there's anything you'd like to discuss please do get in touch. You can reach each of us by email at firstname.surname@wikimedia.org.uk .  Members are also very welcome to attend Board meetings, which are held alternately by conference calls and online - the provisional schedule is at:   http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meetings
