To: [email protected] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 4.0.i for Windows 95 sub 161 The Leicester Time Trail by Allan Mills has now been posted at www.sundials.co.uk/~leicester.htm. This amplifies the very interesting talk he gave at the BSS conference in York. It also has a very informative introduction on the basic theory of sundials. This is one entry in the competition for new sundial trails, for which there is a lavish prize of USD100. Details at www.sundials.co.uk/sunlist.htm David and Dorothy LeConte won last year's competition with the Guernsey sundial trail (at www.sundials.co.uk/~guernsey.htm) and were presented with the prize at York. There are now 25 sundial trails from countries all over the world: Canada, USA, Ecuador, Australia, Malta, Poland, Italy, France, Netherlands, Spain and the UK. Several have been translated into languages other than English. 5 of these sundial trails (London Thameside, Cambridge, East Sussex, Toronto, and Poland) get more than 100 visitors a week, and many others get more than 50. They are therefore a very good method of introducing sundials to the population at large, and thus helping the broad educational mission of all our national sundial societies. Writing a sundial trail is great fun to do! So please consider using a day of the promised good summer to produce a sundial trail for your local area. Or you can do one when you are on holiday. All entries for the competiton will be welcomed. (Entries may be in any language) Piers NicholsonSundials on the Internet Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Precedence: bulk
