As long as you bring cake, I think we can safely say the London meetup
regulars aren't going to complain about the chapter gatecrashing the
meetup!
There is talk of moving away from Penderal's Oak, though, since we
moved this month (due to the kitchen being closed) and discovered that
the wifi at the Shakespeare's Head actually works! This has been a bit
of discussion here:

No conclusion was reached, though, so I think October's meetup will be
back at the Oak by default. We might have concluded to move to the
Head by November, though.

Dear Wikimedian,
On November 5th, it will be Wikimedia UK's 4th birthday. We would like to
hold a small celebration, to thank our volunteers and members for helping us
get this far and ahcieve so much in the space of four years.
We have a small favour to ask regarding the celebrations: as the birthday
falls a week before the November London Meetup, we were wondering if the UK
Wikimedian community will mind if we were to hold a celebration event during
or after the London meet up. We're keen to ensure that it remains a
community meetup, rather than a chapter one, which is why we're asking your
permission.
We would also like to know if the community would rather it be held in the
Penderel's Oak (or a similar pub-like setting), or with a small party
somewhere else e.g the Google Campus
(
http://www.campuslondon.com/workspace/).
We'd really welcome your opinions, as we want to make this birthday
celebration about thanking you - member, supporter, or Wikipedian - for all
your support.
Hasina.
