Before we started on this there was a survey which 100 people replied to, with a majority indicating they were in favour of a local chapter, which does indicate some need.
I do go out mapping regularly too and improve the quality/quantity of the data - as do most of the people currently working to create a local chapter. It's not an either/or binary choice - it is possible to do both. As I said if you don't agree then just ignore us and carry on mapping Regards brian On 27 April 2016 at 23:23, Dave F <davefoxfa...@btinternet.com> wrote: > On 27/04/2016 16:11, Brian Prangle wrote: > >> Dave I couldn't agree more, but for a formal organisation then I'm afraid >> the bureaucratic activities are a necessary evil.
