It's a charity.

Apparently.

They've been working on the place for a while. They stopped at one point because of not having the money to pay VAT as well as costs ... hence getting charitable status.

It's what was, until recently, an iron foundary. My folks live just outside Dolgellau and know the bloke who used to own the building and all the local councillors etc so I'll get them to keep me posted.

no it's not ...

"The Ouroboros is the charitable trust that we are setting up to help fund and maintain our research and education centre. This will enable us to support the work of key researchers worldwide and to find ways of regularly bringing them together."

that's the off-shoot. Who's paying the rent and the retainers for the staff (if it's at that stage)

I'll feel awful if it is a genuine thing, but watch out for the gift-shop selling tea-towells and those little dolls of the welsh-birds with the big hats ...
