Exeter Wikimedia Meetup Number 2

Date and Time: Saturday, 18 January 2025 – 14:00 onwards

Location: Exeter Phoenix Café Bar, Gandy St, Exeter EX4 3LS, United Kingdom

• 
  Join us at the Exeter Phoenix for the second Exeter meetup

A casual social get together for Wikimedia enthusiasts, where we will...

• Have a bite or a drink at the Exeter Phoenix Café Bar – alcohol consumption is completely optional.
• Chat about Wikipedia and any other topics we fancy.

You can expect to meet some keen Wikipedians, but the gathering is open to anyone interested in finding out more about Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. Everyone is welcome, even if you are completely new to the projects and want to learn more.

Please also invite any Wikimedia people you know from Exeter and surroundings – spread the word!

Our table is at the back of the café, past the bar. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 14:07, 18 January 2025 (UTC)

  Car broke down so I'm a no show unfortunately :( CNC (talk) 20:38, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

• Possible, I've never been to a meet up but would love to attend. Does anyone know if the cafe has a lot of steps? Just so I can come prepared lol. Knitsey (talk) 15:17, 23 December 2024 (UTC) Ask me how much of a numpty I am. I've just seen the photo at the top. Now I'm too embarrassed to come to the meet! Knitsey (talk) 15:24, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

  If I remember rightly, the second floor is stairs, there accessible access elsewhere. Not sure where the cafe is (it's been many years since I was last there). [1] Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:26, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

  Lovely, thanks for the link Lee. I will have a think about it. Steps are a little bit of a problem at the mo. Knitsey (talk) 16:01, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

  The wife is the same. I'll see if I can find more info Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 16:03, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

  The café is on the ground floor. The ramp the website describes to avoid the steps is in the outside seating area, if I recall correctly. You can avoid the steep bit leading up to the steps by ignoring google maps and going via the library. Let us know if that doesn't work comfortably for you, we're far enough in advance to move to a different venue. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 20:48, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

  Sorry everyone, I'm not going to make this meet. My health is up and down a bit, so I'm going to skip. Hopefully, I will make the next meet or the next Bristol meet. Have a great time! Knitsey (talk) 18:30, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

• Considering it... HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:05, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

  Will definitely be there. With the wife. :) HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:18, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

• I'm sorry to have missed this. Will keep my eyes peeled for Exeter 3 whenever it comes about as I live locally. Jr8825 • Talk 13:47, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

  User:Jr8825, we'll definitely organise another meet-up. User:Sgubaldo, did we say April or May? I'm away the last weekend of April and the second and last weekend of May. Shall we try and set a date now? —Femke 🐦 (talk) 16:42, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

  If I remember correctly, we said May. How about the 4th or 18th? @Femke. Sgubaldo (talk) 16:53, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

  Or 3rd/17th if you prefer a Saturday. Sgubaldo (talk) 17:01, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

  Let's do the 3rd? —Femke 🐦 (talk) 17:18, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

  Whoops only just saw this. That works, @Femke. I can create the page. Sgubaldo (talk) 23:16, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

  Created. Sgubaldo (talk) 21:30, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

Location

The Exeter Phoenix is a multi-use arts venue in Exeter.
Address: Gandy Street, Exeter, EX4 3LS (OpenStreetMap)(Google Maps)

Getting there

The Exeter Phoenix venue is very close to the city centre. It is within walking distance of both Exeter Central railway station (200m) and the principal Exeter St Davids railway station (1.1km).

It is also very close to two bus stops (Central Station and Queen Street) for Exeter residents.
