# Take membership application forms along to wikimeets
# Send a message to anyone that's UK-based on their en.wp user talk pages
## Compile a list and use AWB?
# Send to relevant WikiProjects {{tick}} Template message <nowiki>{{WMUK WikiProject}}</nowiki> placed at: (also <nowiki>{{WMUK WikiProject Welsh}}</nowiki> where marked (cy)
