We should either automate the checking of addresses or if we can't do that, we should show a small GMaps window with a pin at the address the member gave (this is all the member admins do anyway). James did you say you had a way to automate this entirely?

Yes, I can make an interface to the google geocode api. Think we should store the lat/long for future use too.

Sure, does the geocode tell you if the address is made-up (badly?) We actually don't really care too much if this is correct

Sort of - if the postcode is correct, but doesn't match the address it returns a 'partial match' which we can choose to interpret as good or bad. If the postcode is bad, you get 0 results.

Seems good enough, I'd say we allow 'partial matches' in-case that gets false-positives
