== Community discussion meeting ==
Wikimedia UK is currently undergoing huge growth, enabled by the annual Fundraiser. Plans for the coming financial year are being set out via the [[2011 Budget]]. The Wikimedia UK board feels that it is important to ensure that the whole of the community is behind the direction the chapter is undertaking over the coming year. This direction will be reported at the AGM, however discussion prior to this would be beneficial.
 
Agenda:
# Introductions - who's who in the room
# Outline of the current plans for the coming year
## Staff and office (Mike?)
## Projects (Andrew?)
## Reserves (Tom?)
# Q&A
