Sadly, I don't think I can make it due to a prior commitment, but I'd
been planning to go there and do some mapping of memorials, as
follow-up to an event I was at last weekend:
http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/World_War_I/World_War_I_Editathon
which was part of a larger activity, improving coverage of WWI on
Wikipedia in the run-up to the 100th anniversary commemorations.
May I urge those of you who can attend to please consider taking and
uploading pictures to Wikimedia Commons, to supplement those already
available there:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:National_Memorial_Arboretum
and including Wikipedia links in OSM, per:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Wikipedia
and its talk page discussion on related articles:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Key:wikipedia
The main English Wikipedia article on the NMA is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Memorial_Arboretum
I'm sure you'll find it fascinating place to visit. You my also like
to note the adjacent River Tame/ Trent confluence.
