Harry - what an excellent idea Steve Virgin 17:14, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Steve; it's interesting to see where we have and haven't held events down in one document. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:19, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

I had just added some examples as you were typing and I got an edit conflict (grrr) here they are again Steve Virgin 17:27, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

  1. Roger and I held a public meeting in Monmouth (follow ups likely) for Monmouthpedia project
  2. Collaboration with 2 science & discovery centres likely (Rotherham & Leicester) after a talk I gave (see next point)
  3. I spoke at National Space Centre early Nov to the Association of Science & Discovery Centres (marketing & comms teams) - Leicester
  4. Talks at Cheltenham Race Course (Business South West) + Gloucester Uni (a class invited me in)
  5. Bristol = Mashable Social media day talk (30 June); (Tedx Bristol Talk early Sept); Bristol cricket gound talk (Business South West in July)

You are also missing Jimmy Wales 13 Jan - hosting a morning school assembly at the Bristol Cathedral Choir School - in the cathedral itself Steve Virgin 17:29, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

It might be worth adding the locations that Britain Loves Wikipedia was held in (which included Wales and Scotland) - although ironically, the main lesson that was learnt from that was that it's better to focus on a smaller but central geographical area and build up a critical mass there, rather than trying to hold events all across the UK (hence why there was so much focus on London events for the rest of 2010).
