[Talk-GB] Wales Mapathon

[Rupert Allan]

Dear All,

We are planning to have a meeting/mapping session as CJ has mentioned, this
Thursday (tomorrow).

Thanks to some good feedback, I'm scheduling for a* change to 6.30pm*, to
enable better participation/inclusion. We shall discuss peoples'
preferences for weekly meet-ups amongst the attendees.

As CJ mentioned, all are welcome.

Here are the links to the tasks and the Video Call meeting:

Thanks and best wishes,

Rupert
