Hallo!
My name is Dariusz Siedlecki and I'm the executive secretary of
Wikimedia Poland, the Polish local chapter of the Wikimedia
Foundation.
At the end of April, our association will hold a meetup of all the
Polish Wikimedians, and we'd like to invite people from Wikimedia UK
to participate in a panel discussion on the future of the Wikimedia
projects in Europe, and of course, to take part in the meetup as a
whole.
Apart from the Polish Wikimedians, we're inviting people from other
Polish organizations (Creative Commons Poland), European organizations
(Mozilla Europe) and Wikimedians outside of Poland (Czech and Romanian
Wikimedians were interested so far).
We'd be really happy if it would be possible for anyone from your
organization to come and have a chat with both our organization, and
our community. I think we should communicate fairly easily in English.
The meetup will take place in Wroclaw, during 29th April - 1st May.
30th April will be the most interesting part, during which we'll hold
every discussion, including the discussion panel I mentioned earlier.
If anyone from Wikimedia UK would be interested in coming and taking
part in the discussion, please notify me. We'd be really happy to see
you here, in Poland.
Hope to hear back from you soon.

Great. A trip to Poland!! I volunteer! Can I get grant to cover the
travel expenses?
Sadly, it's not possible. Out organization is already paying enough
for the conference part of the meetup.
You could try with the Foundation, exactly the Chapter Committee.
Planes from the UK to Poland are pretty cheap nowadays, and one night
in the hostel would cost about 10 Euro.
