*Cost included in membership fee (should give better turnout than charging separately and means we don't have to worry about too few people turning up and it making a loss)
*Talks, discussion and debates about Wikimedia projects and the UK community
*Talks from external speakers
*Talks from WMF
*AGM: Annual report, board election, any other business
