Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Registration is Now Open for State of the Map!

[Rob Nickerson]

Currently scheduled for the end of June. If we get good sponsorship levels
this year then we may push it back, if lots of people sign up early we may
bring it forward. We want to keep SotM cost neutral and current budget
shows we can do that with about 50% of tickets sold as early bird.

Rob


And when will that (the price going up) happen? In other words, what's the
early bird deadline?

(Yes, I have looked at both the blog and the website!)

Hi Mark

No need to very bored in Redditch. There's a shedload of mapping to do in
Redditch. What are you currently mapping? We may be able to give some
remote assistance with armchair mapping and/or problem solving. Have you
tried using photos with Mapillary?  It's great for capturing lots of detail

Regards

Brian

Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Next meeting: Atherstone

[Brian Prangle]

I'll go hunting listed buildings in Mancetter and Witherley and then do
some of the east of Atherstone (might do some of the industrial area). See
you in the White Horse

Regards
