Thanks Brian. That will be the sheet SP18 to the east of the current Birmingham sheet and north of Solihull sheet.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I'll be mapping some of Wolverhampton on Saturday that weekend anyway (well Saturday, arranged around family visits - concentrating on west and northwest Wolverhampton as marked on the Black Country cake wiki page). Fitting in the family visits means I can't really commit to mapping party meet ups, but would like to try and make the effort at least at the end of Saturday (if any other mapping happens) as if I do make good progress on Saturday I'd not want to risk mapping somewhere on Sunday that someone else traced on Saturday. Sunday my plans are still unclear, except that I need to get home and hope to map somewhere on the way (either Wolverhampton before leaving, a bit of Cambridgeshire that they're trying to complete as I pass through, or more of an estate on the outskirts of Colchester while I'm passing).

Awesome, thanks Christoph. Anyone else want to chip in before I get a quote? We have about half a dozen more to pick up to cover the whole of the west mids. I still have a few to upload and I'm getting the Wolverhapton sheet on loan this week to scan (should be available for next weekends mapping). We still need sheets for Coventry for instance. I'll sponsor the sheet to the NE of Birmingham that has Sutton on it.

Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Lug Radio Live - How about a mapping party??
Trying to organise a party in conjunction with LUGRadio has been a problem. They are out of tickets (so unless you have a ticket you cant get in - non available on the door this time) plus they do not have any "exhibitor" space. We therefore have three options. 1. To still do it but use an external venue (I'll do the talk at LUGRadio live at 3pm) 2. To move the mapping to Sunday and tie in with oggcamp. There will be plenty from LUGRadio live who are going to oggcamp and if I broadcast our attendance on the Saturday we should get a good crowd. 3. Do both of the above. Thoughts?

Hi, have any plans been made for a Lug radio mapping party? I am free on Sat and would happily do some mapping in Wolverhampton.

I am happy to sponsor for the two sheets south west and south of the SW Birmingham sheet. I was about to buy an up-to-date map for walking in the area but I rather spend the money for a 50 years old map and walk without a map.
