[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Mappa Mercia events

[Matthijs Melissen]

Hi all,

Some suggestions:

- In Coventry there's always a lot to do, and there are not so many
local mappers, so I'd suggest to revisit Coventry.
- The Black Country also has gotten less attention than other places.
It's probably best to meet somewhere along the railway or tramway.
Would Tipton be suitable?
- Stourbridge
- Within Birmingham there are also some areas that are mapped less
densely, such as around Small Heath and Handsworth. Perhaps not the
nicest areas, but I'm sure we'd be able to find a pub somewhere around
there. The advantage of staying in the city is of course that we don't
have too much travel time.

I have the impression that Saturday meetings seem to have a higher
turnout than evening meetings, as they also allow people from a bit
further afield to join. Maybe we could also plan again one or two
Saturday meetings in the Summer?

Best regards,
Matthijs
