it would make a good talking point for potential recruits.[/quote:2pl47j0o]

Sounds like a good idea. Would A3 be big enough? I can arrange for A3 colour printing. We would need some kind of stand, or flip chart for it.[/quote:2pl47j0o]I think we should just buy pre-printed maps and use actual pins.
