Leon; this is a brilliant idea; if a list like this, could be put up about a
week before the next event, each time, it could be printed by any staff or
students of metropolitan campuses of universities, etc, and posted on
computer science department noticeboards, to give staff and students notice,
and could be a good way to get increased attendance, and, membership.

And, that only applies to universities; people could do the same in computer
companies and software houses, etc...

An entry at the bottom of notices like these, listing the membership fees,
could also be helpful for people posting the printed notices on
noticeboards, and, could remind people who have not paid membership fees..

Try out some of the zooming and other features; they work well.

BTW, I looked on TerraServer, which said "acquired in 1987," and lo! -
for there was a great white diagonal stripe across GW's entire suburb!
Well, let's try MapBlast... oh, dear, Perth itself is now on the beach
somewhere near Karrinyup, and there are only two highways, namely Albany
and Great Eastern, in the whole city! I love these useful Web resources,
don't you?

Mr Allpike, do you have a link to a better image for us?
