[OSGeo-UK] BCS SoC Conference plans for 2018

[Mark Iliffe]

Dear all,

I’d like to echo Steven’s comments below - especially considering that we believe (I’m chairing FOSS4G in Dar!) we believe that a significant number of our delegates will take the opportunity for holiday/safari following the conference. 

Best,

Mark
