Pinpoint

[Jack Martin Leith]

I know Pinpoint Facilitation well and often hire pinboards (what some people
call Metaplan boards) from them. They're perfect for when you're not allowed
to post stuff on the walls of the venue. The company is run by Keith
Warren-Price, who's a lovely person. Pinpoint is the UK distributor of
Neuland products.
