More about George West

Yesterday's link concerning George West was an old one: here is a link to his updated page on our website, with a couple of examples of George's paintings, and a photograph of George himself.

There is also a link on his page to the 2009 Nant y Moch protest. It was George who designed the poster for it ( seen being held by Angela Kelly in our previous posting, below.)

Sadly the turbines at Crimp, near Morwenstow (the subject of one of his paintings) in North Cornwall are now up and running, and as usually happens, there are proposals for more turbines in that area.

This is a link to a map of the North Cornwall and North West Devon area, showing proposed and operational wind farms.

Save Mid Wales!
