Place Yourself on the Map!

Hi everyone,

A lot of the Scottish members have already met me at some point over the last 2 years so for those who haven't my full name is Derek Osborne and I am Property Manager living in Glasgow, working In North Ayrshire.

I thought I should post a quick hello as I start out as your Regional Secretary. I also feel that is an important point to make, I am not here to tell the members what to do (that is for the mods

) rather to organise or co-ordinate events for the members.

Therefore I am looking for suggestions from the members for meets. Ideas for locations? Where have we not been yet? Do you want to go back to a previous meet location? Is there any interest in a "Nano" style meet somewhere in Scotland (if we have enough members with the required technical abilities?)

I have also set up a location map (see my signature) and it would be helpful if any Scottish Members (or any other member who feels they want to identify their location, thanks Derek & John & Jan) could place a pin on the map in their rough location. There is no need to zoom right in your street address, we don't need that. Just place your pin so I can see the spread of members.

I would also ask if you can drop me a PM if you wish to be included on a "Meet List" that I aim to compile.

That way whenever a meet is arranged you will automatically be sent a message advising you. If you have your PM preferences set up that way you would also receive an email advising you of your PM so even if you are not on the forum you will still be kept informed.

So, there we have it. A new development for the club and here's hoping I can provide a decent service for the members.

My thanks to those who took the time to vote and please let me know if you have any suggestions, comments, opinions etc.

Cheers,

Derek

Hi Guys,

Time for a little bump. We now have 16 markers on the map but I know there are a lot more Scottish Members than that?

http://www.mapservices.org/myguestmap/map/Derekosb

You will have to scroll the map to Scotland as I still cannot get my map to centre properly

Anyone else please place your marker on the map as this will allow me to guage where the higher concentration of members is. It may also alert you to a member near to you.

Any questions please just ask. Many thanks.

Is the central belt the only place owners live?

Now you see the point of the map......

But pretty much yes. Out of the 5 million population about 80% lives in the Central Belt so our membership spread was always likely to reflect that.

And I would just like to say thanks to everyone who has added themselves so far. 42 markers added to date.

Anyone else please add yourself to the map.

Thanks
