[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Mappa Mercia events

Historically, Saturday's have always been good mapping days.

Cheers

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
