The UK has two of the five bid cities for Wikimania 2013, and by the time of the AGM we should know whether Wikimania 2013 will be held in London, Bristol or abroad. So this slot is reserved for the successful UK Wikimania bid team to discuss their bid and the opportunities for other UK Wikimedians to get involved. Alternatively if 2013 goes to Hong Kong, Naples or Surakarta this slot is an opportunity for those involved in the bids to discuss the jury's decision and start thinking about 2014.
===Sunday 13th===
*AM Possible early start to the London meetup, Or alternatively if there are people staying the weekend, we could do a Sunday morning museum trip or photo session.
