Dear all,
Society of Biology (12 Roger Street, London WC1N 2JU) has contacted Wikimedia UK with a request to have a introductory Wikipedia training run for them on Wednesday* 29 August*, 10am-4pm. The event is a result of a long lasting discussion, which shows there are a couple of people from within the Society really interested in making this happen.
If the initial training goes well, we will have another session where we train up a handful of key contact within the Society. They will then be able to look after the editing of Biology content, hopefully providing help for anyone else from within the Society who would also be interested in editing.
I have created a simple page with the details: http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Society_of_Biology_Wikipedia_workshop
If you would like to run/help run this session, please do sign up on the page or let me know. You can also get in touch if you have any questions.
Many thanks Daria

If you don't have my notes about the meeting I had with them last year, it's probably worth me digging these out at some point. Their request is probably the follow-up to that meeting.
Cheers, Fae
