Reports: Mapping course in DDR
AS was the sole instructor from the IOF, assisted by Harald Grosse, DDR. The organizatoin and accommodation were good. Nine countries sent delegates. Instruction covered the whole spectrum of mapping. The experience level of participants was good. A report will be circulated.
