I've attached a better map of the Snailbeach Mine area, showing the car park and most likely location for surface activities. We are planning to meet at the Village Hall car park at 0930. If you are planning to come along and arrive later during the day, the best plan will be to find the surface par...

With regret, we are cancelling the CREG Field Meeting which had been scheduled for the weekend of 21-22 May in the Mendips.
