WELCOME TO CORNWALL August 28th - Vacancies - Walking in September and Archaeology in October. Went to see the 4D film 'Curse of Skull Rock' at Lands End - brilliant. Moving seats/water/wind and creepy things caressing your legs and the action is right in your face.
2010 will be an historic year for Steve and I as it is the last year we shall be running
our 'Chichester Interest Holidays'.
We shall carry on running the Chichester offering 'Bed and Breakfast' from 2011 and will keep our library and microscope facilties
for those who want to use them. It is nearly 30 years ago that we started our 'famous' holidays and its time you had a break!
I will carry on mineral collecting, and Steve and I will go on doing our archaeology research (discovered a new standing stone this year), photography, local history,
bird watching etc but in our own time. I know we will miss those of you who have been on our special holidays
but the time has come to do our own 'thing' before
we get too old. And I can always come and visit those of you who have invited me down your way...aaarghhh.
Back to 2010 - for those who book for our last interest holidays and have been before please let me know if there is any where you would like to revisit.
Otherwise it will be all my favourite places where we have had fun or a good adventure (or there's a good Cornish cream tea on offer)
HERE'S A REQUEST FROM ME - TO THE MINERAL COLLECTORS - IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WHO HAS HAD CLINOCHLORE OR CHAMOSITE from specimens found in Cornwall CONFIRMED
BY ANALYSIS (I have found a few records on the web etc. i.e. John Beterton's Penberthy Croft article and there is quite a lot of references for the Lizard).
I would love to know. I am trying to get my head round the chlorite group and maybe write an article for the BMS newletter. Thanks.
