Evening activities

Thursday:

Nothing planned. Congregate in the Radisson Blu hotel lobby and we'll get some dinner somewhere.

Friday:

Courtesy of HP, we will be having dinner on a boat as it travels along showing us different bits of Bristol. Taxis have been arranged by HP to take delegates back from HP Labs to town, near to both the hotel and where the boat leaves from (which is very close to Radisson hotel if people want to get changed or drop off bags). This 2 hour round trip along the river is an opportunity to see some of the best of Bristol and also includes drinks and dinner all free, courtesy of HP Labs' sponsorship. There will be a number of local dignitaries from HP Labs, Bristol City Council, the Open Source community, schools, community initiatives and the Universities in the City. They are interested in an exchange of ideas and in building closer ties with Wikimedia, therefore they'd be interested in hearing more about what Wikimedia is doing around the world. They'd also want to take the opportunity to explain what they are doing in terms of innovation, education, technology etc.. There should be lots of interesting conversation.

Be sure to thank HP Labs and the Council for their sponsorship of the summit!

Saturday:

We will be staying at Watershed to eat (although the hotel is very close if people want to go back and return later), where Bristol City Council are providing a bar tab. We have also invited any Wikimedians in Bristol to come and meet everyone. We're hoping to kick-start some regular meetups in Bristol.
