This is definitely a great idea, well done. :-) I think the last time that local ads were
tried for events was back in 2010 with Britain Loves Wikipedia at the Postal Museum and
Archive, which worked really well.
Another option is for WMUK to invite local donors to come along to them - I think this
might have been done before, but I can’t recall whether it was a success or not. Perhaps
we could give this a go for the Manchester wikimeet on the 27th?
Thanks,
Mike

Just a short local press story noting there's a wikimeet happening.
It strikes me that wikimeets in general might be worth sending press
releases about. Get interested members of the general public (i.e. our
readers) along. Thoughts?
