Apart from being the co-organiser of this summer’s Minerva’s Owls of Bath sculpture trail, Gitte Dawson was also the initiator of one of the first city-wide sculpture trails in the UK, King Bladud’s Pigs in Bath in 2008. She was a councillor on Bath & North East Somerset Council from 1999 to 2007 and started the Bath Christmas market, which is now in its 20th successful year. Gitte also had a hand in creating the Two Tunnels Greenway cycle trail, which brought two railway tunnels back into use, and was the driving force behind the Galleries Shop, a community-run shop and café in the village of Freshford where she lives.
