Annual General Meeting

The first Wikimedia UK AGM was held on Sunday 26th April at the Kro Bar in Manchester. The day saw a new Board be elected to serve, numerous speakers cover a range of highly interesting topics, as well as the general chit-chat that comes with any wiki-meet! The minutes from the AGM can be found at Meetings/2009 AGM/Minutes, and the minutes from the first meeting of the new Board (see below!) can be found at Meetings/2009-04-26.
