A reminder to all that a fun mapping party will be underway next weekend in
the heart of the Black Country. Already a good showing it would be great to
see some more of the regular faces too :-)
The event is being held from 10:00am on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th April at

Using the last date is the approach I take for the 1:25,000
provisional/first edition maps I'm collecting. Most don't have a copyright
date but luckily I have the excellent book on the 1:25,000 series written by
Peter Hellyer which confirms what year a particular map edition/print
edition appeared
Nice work :-)
