We recently received the following email from Colin Davies:
"Hi,
I am emailing you from Indus films an independent TV company based in Cardiff. We are making a very exciting project for the BBC about coal and are wondering if you could possible help in getting people take part. I have enclosed an outline of the series below. We are looking for welsh people or people with welsh roots to take part they could come from anywhere in the world. Just wondering if anyone in Australia may be interested. Was unable to find an welsh society for the whole of Australia any help or contacts you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards
Colin
