Aust Cliff and Manor Farm
This excursion guide is a draft chapter, subject to revision, to be published in a field guide book whose reference is: Lavis, S. (Ed.) 2021. Geology of the Bristol District, Geologists’ Association Guide No. 75. It is not to be circulated or duplicated beyond the instructor and their class. Please send any corrections to Michael Benton at [email protected] Aust Cliff and Manor Farm Michael J. Benton Maps OS Landranger 172 1:50 000 Bristol & Bath Explorer 167 1:25 000 Thornbury, Dursley & Yate BGS Sheet 250 1:50 000 Chepstow Main references Swift & Martill (1999); Allard et al. (2015); Cross et al. (2018). Objectives The purpose of the excursion is to examine a classic section that documents the major environmental shift from terrestrial to marine rocks caused by the Rhaetian transgression, as well as the Triassic-Jurassic boundary, and to sample the rich fossil faunas, and espe- cially the Rhaetian bone beds. Risk analysis Low tides are essential for the excursion to Aust Cliff. Tides rise very rapidly along this section of coast (with a tidal range of about 12 m) and strong currents sweep past the bridge abutment. Visitors should begin the excursion on a falling tide. If caught on the east side of the bridge abutment when the tide rises, visitors should continue east along the coast to the end of the cliff where a path leads back to the motorway service area. In addition, the entire section is a high cliff, and rock falls are frequent, so hard hats must be worn. The Manor Farm section lies inland and is lower, so hard hats are less necessary.

Minutes of the Annual General Meeting
Minutes of the Annual General Meeting of Olveston Parish Council, held at the Queen Alexandra Memorial Pavilion (QAMP), Old Down, on Tuesday 22nd May 2018, starting at 19:30 Present: Mr J Hughes, Mr A Baxter, Mrs C Offer, Mrs P Savage, Mrs N Lewis-Leaver, Mr M Riddle Until 21:35 - Mr A Williams, Mr R Harris Min 45/18 Visitors – Mrs D Buckley, Mrs S Batts, Mrs L Powell, Mr R Williams, Mr K Lazell, Mr C Northover, Mrs R Boere, Mr R Knight, Mr R Offer Mrs Powell began the open session of the Parish Council meeting by presenting each Councillor with a list of 7 questions that she and like minded residents wanted answering. The Chairman noted that it was a slip of the tongue calling the Annual Parish Assembly and AGM and accepted his mistake. The Clerk noted that the monthly meeting minutes of Parish Council Meetings can’t be published until approved by the Parish Council, in the case of the April meeting minutes they were due for consideration at this meeting by the Parish Council, the Clerk admitted that due to his own work load the March minutes had not yet been presented to the Parish Council, and that the February minutes had been queried at a previous meeting, and only that evening were they due to be represented to the Parish Council for consideration. The Clerk also noted that the minutes for the 2017 APA had been prepared by him prior to the 2018 APA and paper copies were available at the meeting, the minutes were published on the website for consideration by parishioners as it is for them to call for the minutes and approve them – the mistake that the Clerk made was not to label the minutes as draft.
