In 1990 Agan Tavas was reformed by its members into an open society[citation needed] with the aim of ensuring continued support for the Unified form of revived Cornish[3] first put forward in 1929 by Robert Morton Nance.
It produces for its members the four monthly bilingual magazine, An Gowsva "The Talking Shop".
Both previous Chairmen, Andrew Climo and the late Craig Weatherhill, have been advocates of bringing the language community together by means of a Standard Written Form based on traditional forms of Cornish.
At an extraordinary general meeting in September 2008, the membership of the Society overwhelmingly voted to support the Standard Written Form (albeit in such a manner that would protect the teaching of the traditional language), as well as the orthography known as Kernowek Standard.
[citation needed] Agan Tavas is attracting a few new members who have learned Cornish in the Standard Written Form.
