Organisational Membership — Online application form — Get involved — Application process — Membership Rules — Newsletter — Help

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?
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
   1. What do you think of this one?
6. Article in Signpost?

Y Tip posted here
