Wiki Wildlife Bristol
When: Thursday 15 September 2011 in two sessions; from 1.30-5pm and from 6-9.30pm
Where: Waterside Two, The Watershed, Bristol BS1 5TX

The events will be suitable for people who've never edited Wikipedia before - it's easy to do, and fun - but you will need to bring a wi-fi enabled laptop or similar device.
Venue
The location is the Watershed, the UK’s first media centre. Its cafe-bar serves a wide variety of locally-sourced food and drink and has stunning views of Bristol Harbourside. Tea and coffee will be available at the start of each event.
The second session will repeat the first.
