Looking forward to visiting, thank you for the hard work you're all doing.

Thank you for taking on this monumental task. The commitment you have offered is huge and when successful, will provide members of the community and the environment with a wonderful resource to cherish indefinitely. I have a modest contribution that might be useful at some stage. I photographically recorded some of the events at Gelli Aur when it was in the posession of the County Council. One of the community events was the annual Gwyl Mai - the May Festifal. I have a number of still images on high density transparency film that might be useful to the trust at some point.

We used to love going for a walk with the dogs in the park, calling in for tea, and watching the deer. Looking forward to the restoration project, including the new wildflower meadow.

We loved visiting gelli aur. We had coffee and lunch in the lovely cafe. We walked around the woods and streams. We enjoyed the old and beautiful trees in the arboretum. Sometimes we saw deer and always birds. it was an oasis of calm and beauty that was a wonderful day out. I hope that it can reopen.

I used to love taking the children here when they were little - playing in the playground, walking through the trees and watching the peacocks. I hope this place can be resurrected to its former glory.
