With absolutely no hope of the agreement regarding access to mines on Welsh Government land being reinstated, the directors of CAL have decided to wind the company up.
The original groundwork was done by the late Elsie Little and then taken up by Stewart France who pushed it forward. I well remember a meeting we had on the legalities etc out in the open on a picnic table at the Halfway Inn at Pisgah near Aberystwyth. It was at the end of a Ceredigion Mines Forum and we had all had to vacate, no where else to go.
I have just tendered my own resignation with something of a heavy heart. I have to say that it has been a pleasure and an honour to serve alongside my fellow directors Stuart France and Dave Tyson.
For the avoidance of any doubt, access to Upper Dinas Silica mine in South Wales remains unaffected, its never been anything at all to do with CAL. Although WG owned land, WG own only the soil, "all mines and minerals" belong to my company Natural Amenities Ltd
