Our first meeting of 2025 is a change of speaker it will now be :

Mad About Maps! - Thursday 16th January, 7pm for 7.30pm start. **Please note change of venue, this meeting will take place at The Warwick!**

This month’s guest speaker and map lover Kate Portman will tell the story of how she followed a very squiggly career path that led to her dream job as a digital designer for national mapping experts Ordnance Survey (OS).

Discover how there’s much more to maps than the OS paper ones you may have used while walking. Kate will guide us through Ordnance Survey’s quirky 300 year history - full of interesting characters and reinventions - through to modern times and how OS mapping data underpins so much of our daily lives.

We’ll follow the journey of how a map is made – starting from the 200+ team of field surveyors across Britain who record the outside world from the ground and in the air via some intriguing tools (drones! laser beams! theodolites!) and how that’s processed to end up on your paper map or phone screen.

If you don’t love maps already, Kate hopes you’ll find a new appreciation for them on Thursday!

NEXT UP: Christmas Crafts - Thursday 19th December, 7pm for 7.30pm start
🎄

It’s our annual crafty meet-up, held at the Church Hall so we have loads of space. Note the address: Trinity Church Hall, 54 Cambridge St, Norwich NR2 2BB.

What’s involved?

As this is a social event rather than an official meeting, we will bring some games and some music, and there will be plenty of tables for crafting on, playing a game or simply having a natter and a catch up.

As it’s Christmas, there’s no bake rota - we will be providing tea, mulled wine, mince pies and crisps.

That said, if you’d like to bring any extra games, snacks or drinks, please do! And most importantly.... Bring whatever craft you’d like to work on! Some ideas

* please note this is a members only evening *
