In order to fully function as a chapter, and actually do things, we need members. So, how do we get them?

Ideas:

1. Take membership application forms along to wikimeets
2. Send a message to anyone that's UK-based on their en.wp user talk pages
   1. Compile a list and use AWB?
   2. What do you think of this one?
3. Send to relevant WikiProjects
4. Chase people with a previous involvement with WMUK
5. Contact people that expressed an interest but haven't joined yet including those on these lists
6. Article in Signpost?
7. Send message around the facebook group
