Dear Richard, I would love to come to your conference but will be at another
beanfeast in the Czech Republic. I have a particular interest in hunting
issues and a large amount of sources languish in the NLW. You may have come
across my piece in the Welsh History Review "Field Sports, Conservation and
the countryside in Georgian and Victorian Wales" 16, 1993 which identifies
some of these. Due to a combination of manegerial incompetence and other
factors this department is being forced to downsize with the result that
yours truly is taking early retirement and my wife(a nutritional scientist
is being made redundant--all of which is a bit of a bummer! The upshot is
that I am going to have to find alternative ways of earning a crust! I shall
do some journalism and am also offering my services to any colleagues who
might want research doing in the Welsh/western British archives. If you know
of anyone who may be interested my charges will be ludicrously modest! Did
you get anywhere with the AHRB bid? All hte best , Richard ([log in to unmask] )
