The Welsh Basin

A group of events celebrating the Welsh Basin and the geologists who worked on it, especially O.T.Jones and W.J.Pugh. The Welsh Basin has been the subject of geological studies since the earliest days of geology. This proposal is for an exhibition in Llanidloes at the Minerva Arts Centre, for the week of 1-6 October 2007, for a reduced version of this exhibition to travel around other centres in the region, and perhaps for a number of talks on different aspects of the basin, including its subsidence and sedimentary filling, its uplift, its mineralization, and the glacial history of the area. The reduced exhibition will be taken to schools and local museums.

Organised by the Mid Wales Geology Club, with support from the Welsh Mines Society and the Welsh Mines Preservation Trust, the Central Wales RIGS Group and the Severnside branch of OUGS. Other individuals and organisations have offered support.
