● The move into the Old Watch House in Amlwch Port as the GeoMon
Centre. We renovated it and then created a visitor attraction with
education materials, book and card sales, video and TV displays and
trained volunteers who can explain to all the visitors, about Anglesey’s
geology and our role in the EGN and GGN.
● The Metal Links INTERREG project. This is now nearly at the end
of its first year and volunteers have been working hard on collecting
information on genealogical matters regarding the old miners and their
famiiies. They are also meeting with other partners to link our various
projects.
● Rock Clock We are now in the process of creating a ‘Rock clock”
that depicts all the rocks of Anglesey in a 24 hour clock divided up into
geological periods. We secured the grants for this and the Aber Quarry
is in the middle of constructing this 2m diameter clock that will lie on
the slope up from our centre.
