Despite blustery conditions and intermittent rain, there was a heartening turnout of Andriote locals last night for the presentation by Zagora Directors, Dr Stavros Paspalas and Dr Lesley Beaumont, about the work being done at Zagora.

The Directors of the project, Stavros, Lesley and also Professor Meg Miller, are keen to develop and strengthen links with the local community, and to share their enthusiasm for Zagora and Andros with the locals who have so generously welcomed us into their midst.

The presentation was held in Greek at the cinema/theatre in Chora and the rapt attention of the audience throughout was testament to their avid interest in the project. This was confirmed by a lively question-and-answer session after the presentations.
