Ryedale Flood Research Group
The Ryedale Flood Research Group consisted of 8 volunteers from the Ryedale area and 7 members of the project team. We met 8 times between September 2008 and October 2008, staged a public exhibition in October 2008, and undertook activities such as site visits and archival research. Local members of the Ryedale Flood Research Group attended the project conference in Oxford in December 2009.
