Invited to a ”liason with the community” cocktail party at RAF Valley last night. Commanding Officer Neil Connell was very interested in my project to produce replicas. I carry copies of my begging letters in my handbag ! He promised to pass it on to the right department for consideration. The RAF were very generous with their financial support to my various requests, when I was deputy at Rhosneigr school, so hopefully, since the replicas are mainly for the usage of schoolchildren, they will look favourably at my request again.
Apology for mixed & deleted pages!
As you have probably realised by now, I’m making a right hash of this blogging! I’m afraid I deleted both Monday and Wednesday.
My message on Monday was about the funding I am trying to raise in order to produce replicas of six of the most significant artefacts from Llyn Cerrig Bach. This is because their history is now included in the schools national curriculum. Because I have first hand experience of having handled most of the artefacts with my father, I am called upon frequently to give presentations in schools. I am also invited to give talks to various societies.
Following a most interesting day spent with the divers at the lake on Tuesday, I went back again on Wednesday to observe them.
According to the graph they had produced from the previous day’s soundings, they dropped three marker bouys in the water. They dived to these. Nothing was found at the first two but a length of very bent metal was retrieved from the third point. To me it did not look similar to the 2,000 yr.old ones I had handled. It was highly encrusted though.
