Pleasure.
We need some following documents before submit the application
1. Apply on our own letterhead for participation
I am presuming the Chapter EC will take care of point 1? Let me know if you need any
help.
2. name & address
3. required space : stall (sq. mt) / table
4. space allotted in the last two years
5. photocopy of current trade licence & catalogue
In addition to the society registration, if you see merit, you can also share the
following documents with them
6. latest issue of the journal
7. undertaking to abide by the rules and regulations
So we need help from WMF/Chapter for Point 1 and 5. They want photocopy of society
registration instead of current trade licence & catalogue .

Completely support the idea. The book fair seems a very good idea to reach out to those
who might be interested to edit English or Bengali Wikipedia.
I was going through some of the best practices in setting up a Wikipedia booth & I
learnt that using eye-catchers is one of the successful ways to attract attention of the
attendees. Maybe we could use this idea too:

Would be more than happy to discuss things over a call/Skype etc. Please let me know if I
can help out in anyway.
