The city of Madison is the hub of the 43, -89 graticule, but the region covers mostly the area to the north. Madison residents should also consider geohashes in the Rockford graticule to the south.
This graticule has a (relatively moribund) Facebook group: Geohashing - Madison, WI. Plans are more likely to be posted here than there, but if you write something there, it will be seen.
