Alternatively, a meeting outside London, of course. Maybe the IRC meeting will decide the venue.
Since I am arriving at 7:40AM, then I could easily make it to some part of England by some reasonable time like noon. Surely it can't take more than an hour to get anywhere on the whole island? (ha ha! American humor, ignore me!)
You can fly to Edinburgh in an hour. The outer Scottish Isles will take a little longer.
But the point is, I am happy to go anywhere that day, as I have no commitments until the following day, though it would please me to have travelling companions if there's a long train ride involved.

Yes, that makes sense. James and I (at least) would probably be able to hook up with you.
Yes, I don't see any point in having the meeting anywhere other than London for now - further meetings could be planned for other locations (or for further more local initiatives, as mentioned at the last meeting). I'll come down for the meeting anyway and possibly we'll have greater interest/commitment this time since we will have more time to give people notice. (Copying to the wikimedia-uk list.)

May I suggest organising the occasional meeting for a date other than the weekend. I am only in London during the week and so only available to show up at this time. Any weekday would do...

This meeting is specifically to complete as much as possible of the Chapter formation, including finding potential Trustees (also company directors and a company secretary) of "Wikimedia UK Ltd", a charitable company, limited by guarantee.
There will be an IRC session this Sunday, October 16 at 18:00 BST (17:00 UTC) to discuss this.
Personally, I can meet midweek daytime, but at present I work four evenings in the week, Monday to Thursday.
