        • AoB
          • I encouraged everyone to think about putting information about what they are doing on-line and offered to help with this.
          • Making maps and getting help
            • I am very limited in terms of what feedback I can give on work that is to be assessed.
            • Although I am happy to help if people get stuck making maps, I won't have much time to spend doing this.
            • I recommended the use of ArcGIS over MapInfo because I can probably help more with ArcGIS problems.
