[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Fwd: OSM January Meeting

[Brian Prangle]

Hi everyone

Jack - a local mapper in Warwick has forwarded this info on pubs for our
Jan 11th meetup. Which one would folk like to meet in? Also do you want an
afternoon of mapping followed by pub or a morning of mapping follwed by
pub? My vote goes to Wetherspoons in the Square  and am/pm not fussed

Regards

Brian

 Hi Brian,

Merry Christmas and apologies for the delay in replying. I can think of two
possible places to meet (many others exist). If you think most people will
be arriving by train, The Roebuck in Smith Street might be a handy meeting
place. I'm told they do good food. The other one I had in mind was a
Wetherspoons in the town centre - The Thomas Lloyd in the Square. Standard
Wetherspoons type food but it is big.

How does the newcomer identify a group of OSMers? Wikimedians often take
along a banner or are wearing Wikipedia T-shirts and so can be fairly
easily recognised.

Regards,

Jack

  Hi Jack

Thanks for your input - it will be great to meet you. I think we'll
probably concentrate on buildings, addresses, shops and POIs around the
town centre - but other folk may have different ideas. Do you have a
recommendation for a pub with decent food/beer?

Regards

Brian
