Hello everyone,
We will be doing another Cape Town Wiki meetup on the 7th December. We are
trying out a new location again so please note the venue change. OpenUp
<https://openup.org.za/> has very kindly let us use their downstairs space
at the Code Bridge in Newlands
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newlands,_Cape_Town> which is very near to
Claremont <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claremont,_Cape_Town> train
station and taxi rank. It also has ample free parking in front of the
building. Also located nearby is Cavendish Square. Code Bridge is located
in the bridge (hence the name) that allows Campground Street to cross both
the railway line and Letterstedt Road.
This is the same location as the Wikimedia ZA 5-year strategy workshop and
AGM happening on the 14th and 15th December respectively. I will send out
another email about that now.
The parking and building can only be access by the Helmlock Street /
Letterstedt Road entrance. Parking is free.
See the location on the map to the right.
In summary the details are:
Date: Saturday the 7 December
Time: free to arrive anytime between 10:00 - 14:00
Location: Code Bridge <https://codebridge.org.za/>, 1 Thicket St,
Newlands, Cape Town, 7700
As always the meetup is open for everyone to join. So if you or anyone you
know as an interest in learning more about free knowledge or just want to
talk about it then please join us.
For more information please see the event page on Wikipedia here:

Cheers,
Douglas.

Hello everyone,
This is to let everyone know that the Wikimedia ZA Annual General Meeting
(AGM) for 2019 will be held on *Sunday the 15th December*. It will take
place in Cape Town but we will let you know closer to the date of the exact
location.
The AGM will be preceded by a strategy session on Saturday the 14th
December. The strategy session will seek to develop the chapters goals and
plan for the next 5 years (2020-25). We have decided to have it the day
before the AGM so the plan can be discussed and passed at the AGM the
following day.
Just like our last AGM we will be making arrangements to ensure that people
can join digitally as well as in person. We also aim to allow people to
join the strategy session digitally as well. Please let me know you wish
to join digitally.
Thanks and best regards,
Douglas Scott.
President
Wikimedia ZA
