Hello Wikimedians,

This weekend I am running an event https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/turkish-culture-wikipedia-editathon-tickets-81968946325 to train Turkish speakers to edit Wikipedia at Newspeak House in East London from 11-5. I'm not sure of the total number of attendees, because people usually drop out, but we have had around 30 signups, so I wanted to ask if anybody might be interested to come and help out with training on the day. If you have travel reasonable expenses for the day, Wikimedia UK will cover them. Please email me back if you are interested in coming to lend a hand - essentially we need someone to just wander around and answer any questions people have. This will be more important after the initial training and lunch, so you don't need to come at 11, but from 1-1.30pm to 5pm would be very useful.

All the best,

John Lubbock
