Actually I don't know what I was thinking! Yes of course you are quite correct and I should vow not to answer posts after quaffing a bottle of wine Embarassed

Now I'm sure that's not the first time I've said that!!

I did wonder if you had sunk too many John Smith's. I downed a bottle of red the other night, felt totally okay until the following morning where I started feeling a little drunk! Not good! Luckily I didn't have to drive anywhere and it was the weekend too!

Back to JS and Guinness! Laughing

As an experiment :D I would like anyone passing the GATSO on the A439 to record its position and send it in marked "A439 camera".

Please record its position as you drive past using your normal method, eg when you first see it, or as you pass it. I will use the results to assess the scatter that is likely to occur when recording a camera position.

Please make sure that you don't run into the car in front Exclamation

the one that is also recording the camera's position.

Getting back on topic! For those of us who should know better! :o

I have just been speaking to Anquet Maps. Anquet are hoping to turn up on Saturday, but may not make it because of prior arrangements. Anquet have donated 2 copies of Anquet Maps central England for the draw.

As mentioned above, to qualify for the draw you need to be pre-registered for the event and also be there on the day. We are doing this to ensure that these items are being distributed to the PocketGPSWorld readers rather than someone who has just walked in off the street.

If you have not registered yet, please send an email to pubmeet@pocketgpsworld.com. We will acknowledge your registration. If you have not received an acknowledgment within 48 hours please email webmaster@pocketgpsworld.com or post into this thread.
