Of course, there are other areas in dire need of attention - I'm amazed that we do nothing the other side of the Pennines, for example. 

Coventry was brilliant, thanks. I think we recruited a few new editors, got some articles written and some images donated. I wrote a brief report at http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Reports/2012/March#GLAM.

I thought the Wikilounge was very successful, and I've long thought that we don't do enough in Manchester, despite having a community there that could do wonders with a push in the right direction. Developing the relationship with the university/library could be a great springboard for other things.
