Hi mappers :-)
Do you have an hour to spare before Saturday?
Would you like to be part of the Manchester Mapping Party [1] but can't get
there this weekend?
If so then it would be really cool if you could do a little tracing in
Manchester to help some new users try out this mapping thing.
I also have one in the centre of Sutton Coldfield. Think when I mapped it
(ages and ages ago) I made it two separate ways which obviously isn't right.
So interested to hear what people think.
Cheers
Andy

A reminder that the Manchester Mapping Party is less than a week away. Its
great to see so many already signed up, but we can certainly do with some

I can't help at all those days so I hope others can fill the gap? Would be
great if some of the London folks could perk up to this one.
