Just to update everyone, the Board decided on Monday to hold the AGM in Birmingham, or Manchester if it was not possible to find a free or low cost venue in Birmingham.
The rationale was that Birmingham is a central location with good transport links to the rest of the country, London hosted the first WMUKv1 meeting and Oxford is being considered for the 2010 AGM in the run up to Wikimania 2010.
We are currently investigating the possibility of holding the AGM at the University of Birmingham in Edgbaston. The university is close to "University" train station, which, looking at trainline.com, is directly served from Cardiff and is 7 minutes from Birmingham New Street which is served by trains from London, Leicester, Manchester and Sheffield.
Will keep you all updated!
regards,
Andrew
