Dear all
I just wanted to let you know that there are still places available at our
Annual General Meeting this Saturday 13th July, which is taking place in
the beautiful setting of the Watershed in Bristol. If you would like to
come, please register on our eventbrite page

.
Whilst the day is primarily for members, you don't have to be a member to
attend and the morning's activities will hopefully be of interest to many
of you. We are looking forward to hearing from Brandi Geurkink, European
Campaigner at Mozilla Foundation, about her work to combat disinformation
online. After that, there is going to be a facilitated discussion on
'culture and conflict on Wikipedia'. Alternatively, John Lubbock will be
leading a photography tour of Bristol, so please bring cameras with you if
that's more your thing. There will be a range of lightning talks from
members, and we will be announcing the UK Wikimedian of the Year and
Partnership of the Year Awards, as well as our inaugural Honorary
Memberships.
This year we have eight candidates

standing for five places on Wikimedia UK’s Board of Trustees, so every vote
counts. If you are a member and can’t attend the AGM in person, please do
email (or send us) your proxy vote. Details for how to do so are in last
Thursday’s email to members and in the voting packs sent by post last week.
Best wishes
Lucy
