HLF noticeboards bid

The three noticeboards that were erected around the site soon after the formation of the Friends are now in urgent need of replacement.  Since these were installed the Group has created a number of new paths and undertaken many surveys that have provided a mass of information about the site.  In order to make visitors more aware of the footpaths, and what there is to see, we have decided to seek funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) to enable us to both replace (by April 2018) the current noticeboards, and also to install site maps at each entrance to the area using long-lasting metal structures and weather-proof modern graphics.  Our initial project enquiry to HLF received a positive response so we are now in the process of submitting a full bid.  We would welcome any letters or emails in support of our bid.
