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
WishesPeter Jolly
President of The British Cartographic Society
