This has now been confirmed for the 13th and 14th of October.  The 
Open Street Map people are asking whether anyone has been doing any 
mapping just lately.  To which I had to reply that I don't know that 
anyone has done any mapping since earlier this year.

So, if you want to help out please get started on this now.  A quick 
read through the beginners guide and the wiki would be helpful...

We do need helpful volunteers.  Don't forget that on the weekend that 
we do this together there will be refreshments and food for those who 
take part.
