The Wikimedia UK Annual Conference 2012 will be held on May 12 at the Science Museum in London. The conference will incorporate both presentations and talks about Wikipedia/Wikimedia, as well as Wikimedia UK's Annual General Meeting. It should be free to attend, and lots of fun.

Wikimania 2013
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

Yes, I hope to come along this year. I should be able to cover my travel costs for London. CT Cooper · talk 12:31, 31 January 2012 (UTC)I should be able to make both days, but if it will be difficult for me to deal with two days worth of train tickets or over night accommodation, so I might need some assistance after all. CT Cooper · talk 13:53, 21 February 2012 (UTC)- Count me in :) --ErrantX 12:24, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
