Dear all Many thanks to those of you who attended Wikimedia UK's AGM last Saturday. For those who weren't there, I'm pleased to report that *Sammy Tarling* was elected to the Board of Trustees. Sammy is a long standing Wikimedian, having served as a functionary on the English Wikipedia and globally across the Wikimedia projects as a Steward until late 2022. Sammy has worked as a software engineer on the Community Tech team at the Wikimedia Foundation since early last year, and has experience as a company director.
Sammy replaces *Kelly Foster *as an elected trustee. Our thanks to Kelly were recorded at the AGM and I would like to reiterate them here. Kelly has served a three year term as a trustee, bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience of the global Wikimedia movement. Whilst she is stepping down from the board, she has agreed to remain on the Community Development Committee as an independent member. We are very grateful to continue to benefit from Kelly’s insights and networks in this capacity. All the ordinary board resolutions were passed, and the minutes from the 2022 meeting were approved. This is just a reminder that if you want to be able to vote at future AGMs, please sign up for membership here <https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Membership>. At the recent meeting, members voted to keep the membership fee at just £5 a year for individuals, although we always welcome additional donations! With best wishes Lucy -- Lucy Crompton-Reid (she/her) Chief Executive
