This major event attracted 20, yes 20, same as last year.  I think the free glass of premium selected vino got them in with the promise of bikkies later on.  Anyway the business was carried out with the usual efficiency and speed that TVGS is noted for.  Almost as that meeting closed a charabanc must have pulled up outside, as suddenly the doors burst open and a crowd rushed in to hear our visiting speaker, Graham Worton.  After an amusing intro by Janet full of new jokes, Graham gave a wonderful down to earth, or rather below the earth as it was all on mining, talk that will be more fully expounded upon on these pages by Alan (Bates).

Arthur (Tingley) presented an update (see it HERE)  on the Knighton mapping project on which a team, busy for over a year, is starting to produce good results (Paul Bate’s book is a work of art).  Thanks and much appreciation of course, must go to Arthur for the huge amount of work he is doing, including all the teaching, fieldwork he himself is out gathering and the assembly and analysis of the data from his team.  This is a great project, right where TVGS wants to go, thanks again, Arthur.

Tom (Jones) held a meeting with Paul Olver earlier in the day, and outlined to this meeting, the Breccia project and the type of activities open to those who wish to volunteer.  By the end of the evening over a dozen had put their names down.  Tom will keep us informed–thanks Tom, again looking like a great project.

HERE is a retrospective of 2014/2015 TVGS happenings, hastily assembled and shown at the meeting.
