Hi Rod
That's great, thanks so much - will send round a few more details about the sort of event we're planning later this week. In the meantime I just wanted to clarify that I meant Wikimedia UK members. We have residential addresses for all members as part of the information we collect when people sign up, so it's on that basis. The next biggest cities as far as our members are concerned are Oxford, Glasgow and Cambridge, which I found quite interesting.
Best
Lucy

Hi Lucy,
Thanks for this advance notice. I have not attended before (largely because this and other activities are generally in London).
I work in Bristol and live nearby. I have visited and have some contacts with various local venues – have you got any details about the number expected and the sort of facilities that are likely to be required – I may be able to suggest some suitable locations or provide contact details.
I wonder how the data is obtained about this being the second highest location for number of members as the Bristol wikiproject (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Bristol ) is not that active.

Dear all
I just wanted to give you all an early heads up that we are planning to hold Wikimedia UK's AGM this year on Saturday 13th July. We are looking at holding the event in Bristol for various reasons, but primarily because this is the city where the second highest number of our members lives (the first is London).
My colleague Katie will be starting to look at venues over the next few weeks so if you have any suggestions or contacts, please get in touch!
Many thanks
Lucy
