About the meet up

A social gathering for Wikimedia enthusiasts, held in a family-friendly pub in Coventry City Centre, a short walk or taxi ride from the station. The beer is cheap, the food is good and the WiFi is free. However, the pub is quiet and cosy in the daytime and it also serves coffees and soft drinks, so younger Wikipedians should feel welcome.

A meetup is a great opportunity to meet other Wikipedians, to discuss Wikipedia and Wikimedia-related issues, or to get help from experienced editors.

Directions

The pub is a little over a mile from the city centre but easy to get to. If driving via the Inner Ring Road, come off at junction 6 and follow these directions, or exit at junction 7 onto The Butts, and then turn left onto Albany Street. The pub is situated just off a small roundabout and it has its own rather small car park. The walk from the station takes you through the suburb of Earlsdon (directions). A taxi from the station will normally cost less than £5.

Location

The meetup will be held in The City Arms, Earlsdon, Coventry, CV5 6EP

Look for a laptop logged into Wikipedia, someone wearing a Wikipedia T-shirt, a Wikimedia UK banner, or just look for this guy!

-  | description  = A social gathering for Wikimedia enthusiasts in Coventry. You can expect to meet some very keen Wikimedians, and there is also an open invite for anyone interested in finding out more about Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects, projects re-using our work, and other collaborative wiki projects. Also wiki technology, MediaWiki, or discussing the business impact of mass collaboration. Feel free to come along and raise these discussions over a beer. The pub is quite quiet and family-friendly at the time we'll be there, so hopefully younger Wikimedians will also feel welcome and safe. Alcohol consumption is certainly not required!
