Four Wikipedians attended the whole meeting (which lasted until 5:50pm).
A fifth WIkipedian (Stefan) was present for part of the meeting.
Brief notes: charity status agreed, company limited by guarantee
agreed. The articles of association should be brief and taken from
the Charities Commission Model which would vastly improve the
transition to charity status. The "by laws" from other countries
would act as a reference point, and included in part.
Next meeting: propsoed to meet on Sunday, 27th November 2005 at the
same venue. Lunch is available at the pub. Date chosen since Jimbo
will be in town and to focus ourselves on a few (tenable) goals.
It is noted that London is not the UK. Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham
and Reading are also in the UK:-)

Thanks, Cormac. That is a very fair representation of what took place!
I am planning to write another draft of the aims, without looking at
the "by-laws" but starting from the models we have to hand (notable
from the Charities Commission).
