Dinner
Dinner was well attended with a lively bunch of 17 enjoying a very sociable occasion. Many thanks to Critchlow Associates who picked up the dinner tab!
Meeting
The agenda proved a good mix of informative presentations and innovative demos. I'm sure we're all looking forward to Martin's release of MapInfo 8 !!!!
Many thanks to the GIS team at Waitakere City Council for providing a great venue
and Simon Nitz who provided the Map Competition prize.
Map Competition
The winner of our inaugral "Best Map" Competition was Steve Emerson from Manawatu District Council. His street map of Fielding was judged by our special panel (representatives from Bizedata, Critchlow Associates, e-Spatial and MapData Sciences) to be the best example of good map presentation. Congratulations Steve.
Start sharpening your map production skills as next years Best Map Competition promises to be bigger and better!
