Some of you are aware that TVGS has made two recent applications for funding from the European LEADER scheme.  LEADER funded the Martley Geology Project that will be completed at the end of 2012.

We applied for just over £10000 to complete our work for Martley as a geo-village–two more trails with leaflets, 4 more interpretation boards at important local geology sites, 2 practical, fun geology courses for young persons, completion of the car park at Martley Rock and a number of other items.

LEADER praised the bid contents but unfortunately, as their funding was oversubscribed by other groups and we had the previous funding, we were not successful this time.

The second application was for TVGS to link up with similar groups in Germany and France and this has yet to be decided, so will keep you posted.

TVGS committee will consider options open to the society, as we wish to do the work described in the (first) application above.
