Hi,
I have confirmed the British Library conference center for Friday 12th
April to Sunday 14th April 2013. They have kindly offered to host us
for our proposed international "GLAMwiki conference" for free and the
venue is suitable for up to 255 attendees.
If you would like to support and prepare
I'm running another "coffee morning", i.e. informal discussion session
about training issues. This one will precede the London meetup on
Sunday 12 August, and will be in the same place, Penderel's Oak pub in
Holborn (http://www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/home/pubs/penderels-oak/).
I'll get a train that wi
Hi Charles,
I won't be able to make the 12th - it's the first free weekend I've
had for a month or so, and I've sworn off going into London! - but I
will be around in Cambridge working from home on Friday. Would you be
free for a quick coffee sometime in the afternoon?
- Andrew.

Because the blog post response to The Daily Telegraph article wrote that
"“The Board is united in the view that this decision does not affect his
role as a Trustee of the charity."

Secretary) should have the same standards as any other Trust
It is my understanding that the Chair is one of many on a board of
Trustees. So, for example, Trustees expenses will be recorded with the
Charity Commission annually.

Yes, this is the case. The Chair is the Chair of the Board of Trustees and,
if you look in our constitution, you will see that the post actually has
very few powers or responsibilities except chairing board meeti

QRpedia plaques were less than £100 each (I forget the exact figure). Add
20% for losses, repairs, updates, breakages (this is central London)...

Yes; do we have a contact there?
I've got a contact at the National Trust, but I think it's a regional
contact, rather than a national one... I don't think we've got any at
English Heritage. I've cced in Fae, who should know if we have any English
Heritage contacts!

By the way, one of the ceramicists who produces blue plaques and the like, in
London and elsewhere, is also the partner of the curator of Chepstow Museum (qv
Monmouthpedia), and lives down the road from me. Just sayin'

For what it's worth, I was informed of the EGM on Thursday night, and woke
up the next morning to see that Ashley had stepped down. I incorrectly
inferred that his action was a response to and reflected the wish of the
EGM. I didn't immediately grasp that he remained on the board.
