I have implemented my own suggestion and restricted the notice to a box more defined by Lincoln and Southend - I hope that is OK with people, I'm just a bit conscious that watchlist notices are quite intrusive and we should be careful not to tell the whole of the UK about every event happening in the whole country.
I've also tweeted about it: http://twitter.com/#!/wikimediauk/status/70119179818242048 There is a good match between the profile of Wikimedians and that of Tweeters, so Twitter is a very useful tool for us as an organisation. If there's ever anything that we can usefully tweet about please feel free to email me, or do a reply to @wikimediauk.
