Friday 8^th June 2007 – Pont Ceunant (Frongoch) Generating Station
  Following suggestions made at the Ceredigion Mines Forum meeting last year (2006) a project was created to remove all the dumped household waste from within this magnificent building, and to take steps to prevent further dumping.
  The partners in this scheme were Ceredigion County Council’s Spirit of the Miners project and The Environment Agency who both made a financial contribution to the cost, the land owner Mr Henry Williams who supplied and erected new fencing around the building, Tom Price (Plant Hire) who supplied an excavating machine free of charge to assist with the project and the Welsh Mines Preservation Trust who supplied volunteer labour.
  The problem at Pont Ceunant is the fact that there is an unofficial lay-bye beside the building, that makes a convenient pull in for people to unload their rubbish and throw it down into the building.  Part of the project involved blocking the large aperture in the building through which the rubbish used to be dumped with a decorative grille, manufactured by the local blacksmith at Abermagwr.  The unofficial lay-bye was removed, the grass verge restored and an interpretation board  placed there giving the history of the building and making a comment about the problem of dumping at sites such as this.  The Trust is grateful to all the partners for their contributions both financial and in kind.

5^th - 6^th May 2007 – Mid-Wales Working Weekend
  We held a working weekend in Mid Wales at Bronfloyd mine, Ceredigion.

31^st March - 1^st April 2007 – Working Weekend at Temple Mine, Ceredigion.
  A working weekend was held at Temple Mine to carry out a survey of remaining features on the site at the request of CCW.
  The 40 foot wheel-pit is in a perilous situation, and will eventually collapse, CCW asked us to survey and photograph the wheel-pit while it is still standing.  We are exploring possible ways to preserve the wheel-pit.
