Alastair Lings
Thank you for organising this. For various reasons, I was unable to attend the previous meetings but I am determined to attend this inaugural meeting on the 7th March. If there is anything I can do to help, you only have to ask.
Cheers

4. To encourage an interest in this heritage, by working with community groups and government.
5. To help communities benefit economically and socially from their mining and quarrying heritage.
