   5 is not high enough for such a great webinar, more like 25! Want to start map hunting for my family right now.\n\nAbsolutely brilliant. Unfortunately I had a driver deliver goods during the broadcast so I'm looking forward to printing out the syllabus & listening to the whole broadcast again (& then getting a map, or 2 or 3......). Thank you for another wonderful webinar.\n\nAlthough I actually find maps very boring, I found the presentation to be excellent. The speaker spoke clearly and not too fast and I learnt some interesting things. -However I found it very amusing that he stated the area in England where his accent was from - to me it sounded definitely like a US accent. ;-). \n\nAmazing!
