  Map Group Event

  Map Group's end of year event will follow a “tried and tested” formula where members will present a 5 minute segment on an interesting item they have collected. The item could have some geographical connection or be as broad as you wish.  Some suggestions to get you thinking; the item can be a book, holiday souvenir, piece of equipment, some photographs or maps.  It is surprising how entertaining this segment of our program can be and it usually creates much laughter.  This will be followed by a special morning tea and the usual camaraderie.

  Limit:- 30.  Registration on the website required.

  Coordinator:-  Kay, Neville and Len
