I
thought it would be a good idea to have one report that covered both July and
August as, unsurprisingly, we only have one event in August which is the Map
Curators meeting in Leeds, 29-30 August. So Map Curators if you haven’t signed up already please do so.

On
19 July there was a UK GEOForum meeting in London. The Forum has
representatives from 14 associations/societies in geography and mapping industries
and is an excellent group facilitating discussions of matters of the moment within
the industry and co-operative ventures with organisations like the AGI, RGS and
GA.
So
after the Map Curators meeting at the end of August, we have a Council meeting
on 6 September in London, and we hope to have a stand at the AGI Conference,
19-20 September at The East Midlands Conference Centre in Nottingham.
Then we have
our first 2 day Restless Earth Schools Workshop in Penarth, 26-27 September.
Looking further ahead still and to give you a ‘heads-up’, the GIS SIG will meet
in London on 24 October at our ‘initialsakes’ offices and our
AGM/Lecture/Dinner event will be at the RAF Club on 31 October starting at
1700.

Let’s
hope we have some more sunshine and we can all enjoy the August break.
Best
