Re: Public Editor's Draft of the OpenActive Activity List

Hi,
I agree with annotating the list with the NGBs, the attached list may help
as it contains the websites of some of them.
It also contains the descriptions of some of our exercise classes which
also might help with some of the missing descriptions in the Activity List.
Thanks
Jon
