FIELD TRIP
Field Trip Saturday 26th May–this IS on–limited places so be quick but PLEASE let me know–see northern Penny Hill in detail, Brockhill Dyke and Southstone Rock–largest tufa deposit in the country(?). Sturdy footwear, packed lunch, rainwear. Professor Donny Hutton will lead this trip. Meet Martley Village Hall 10am; use cars packed to the gunwales as parking is limited in some areas.

FUNDING APPLICATIONS
Progress on funding applications–we are busy with two applications. Firstly we submitted the Expressions of Interest and have now been invited to complete full applications for both. The first is for a transnational co-operation project with two similar villages to our own, one in France, the other Germany. The second is to expand the ‘developed’ sites in the parish of Martley to a total of five. The additional four would show off permian, silurian and triassic rocks, each with a local interpretation board, supported by an explanatory free leaflet. Illustrated guides to two new local geo trails to complement the one already in use as commissioned by the Earth Heritage trust, are also planned, and a free geology course for young people too.
