Wikipedia:Meetup/Newcastle/TINA2011

On Saturday, 1 October 2011, we are planning a wiki hike adventure close Newcastle, taking photos of an area that is not well covered on wikipedia/commons as we go.

On Labour Day, 3 October 2011, Wikipedia editors will be holding a Wiki editing workshop/performance at This Is Not Art at The Loft between 10am and 4pm. (11:00 UTC-17:00 UTC)

Wikimediaau-l announcement and report.

Details re 1 October hiking adventures

We are meeting at Newcastle train station very early in the morning - at 8am!!!! We have decided that we are going to be spontaneous and open spacey, so we'll collectively decide on the exact route on the day. Suggested destinations so far are:

The Bogey Hole
the old coal railway that used to run along the coast
the Newcastle Breakwall.

Let us know if you have any other suggestion of an area that is close to Newcastle and we can cover in one day.Juttavd (talk) 06:27, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Workshop session description

The Art of Wikis is an interactive visual workshop about Wikis.

Evening meetup

It's a very long time since there was a Newcastle Meetup. Maybe Monday would be a good day for it as people are around for TINA during the day. Does anyone have a suggested location we could meet for dinner and drinks? Angela . 11:31, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Great idea! At this point, I am not sure if I'll make it to an evening meetup. Depends if I am taking Tuesday off work or not. Juttavd (talk) 06:33, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be at an evening meetup on Monday, but I would prefer an evening meetup on Sunday if that is possible. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 23:51, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
