[Talk-gb-midanglia] King's Lynn mapping party?

[Chris Dorling]

I'd be interested in joining a mapping party in Kings Lynn.  I definitely
can't do 13th June due to being involved in a National Bike Week event, but
currently I'm free the other Saturdays.

I'd be interested in doing Diss on another occasion, as I've been (slowly)
working at villages to the South West of Diss (Botesdale and others).
