2001... An invite to the Welsh assembly to present a petition
With the threat of restrictions and closure in the Environment Agency's severn estuary action plan at that time it was decided to ask the public for support .
The support from them and our AMs ,MPs & Councillors was overwhelming. This petition (in pre internet days for us ) involved knocking on doors and at on point setting up in caldicot center with our boat.
We met the then minister for rural affairs Carwyn Jones & the first minister Rhodri morgan who were both supportive.
