80:. During that time, another patron in the restaurant, a woman named Ashé, came up to talk to us about religion, which was interesting. She spent the rest of the night talking with us about all sorts of things and we spoke to her about our work on Knowledge. She also took the photo of the two of us (pictured). One of the waitresses had heard a lot about Knowledge and was interested in our meeting and promised to look us up here (hello there if you are reading this!)

cities of LM, Maitland, Cessnock, etc. I would be happy to join up to the project and maybe help out a little with articles from that area; I've already started articles on the railway stations from the area. It's a suggestion, but it's a better use of the dormant
Wikiproject than what it is doing at the moment.
429:
It's good that there's at least three of us although I think at least 5 would be preferable. Now it's time to start thinking of dates. I'm going to assume Friday/Saturday night here and I think we should wait until June just to allow more time for others to join. I may even invite a Sydney person up.
83:
Meetups are a good time to talk about
Knowledge. As editors we get precious little time to speak to others about what we do. No one understands. No one wants to understand. But when Wikipedians get together we can talk about all the big things and little things that make up our lives on Knowledge. It

Grr. I'm still not certain whether we'll make it. The best I can suggest is to ask them "if Athol Mullen makes a booking, can you put us at the the table next to him." I'd do the same but I don't know what name your booking is in. I don't expect to know if we'll be there until possibly as late as

Just to throw a possible spanner in the works, it appears that the
Anatolia has had a price rise as of this weekend, with all main meals going up be about $ 2. I don't know whether people will want to rethink the venue or go with it with the knowledge that the price is now higher.

Restaurant on
Beaumont Street, Hamilton. The food was good quality although there was a slight mixup with the pricing. We were entertained for about 20 minutes by the store's resident belly dancer (pictured) who unsuccessfully attempted to get either of us up to dance with her.

At this stage I (One
Salient Oversight) am hoping for around four meetings per year, which means that the next one will probably be held in three months - September. Colin will be overseas at that time but I'm hoping that other Novocastrian Wikipedians will come along.
87:
For those who were not able to make it you missed out on a good time, but we know that the weather was bad, it was winter and people often cannot contact when things come up. People also forget, but that's okay too! We hope you will be able to make it next time.

comments: Whatever. I'm on a student budget but can afford to eat out now and then. I'd be up for the
Turkish restaurant + belly dancing, which sounds like something different. Any cafes on Darby St. are also a good option. Sat night preferable to Fri.

night Colin MacLaurin and Neil
Cameron (One Salient Oversight) kicked off the inaugural Newcastle meetup. Despite being the smallest meetup in Knowledge history, we both had a great time discussing Knowledge and our interest in it.

started with four people a few years ago and has gone up to 20+ these days. Having only two people for a meetup may seem disappointing... but it wasn't really. We know that more will come. If we hold them, Wikipedians will come.

Thanks Neil! I had a great time as well. As it was my first meetup I didn't know what to expect, but I felt comfortable from the start and highly recommend it to others. I found our organiser

Hi One
Salient Oversight; sure, I'd like to meet up. Advance notice would help, as I actually live in the Lake Macquarie region most of the time. This will be my first Wiki meetup.

I will be travelling in Europe from July until
October 3, when I return to Australia. I will likely leave Newcastle after that, but will come along to another meetup if I can.
