East Riding Archaeological Society

Due to unforeseen circumstances Field Studies originally scheduled for Wednesday 3 July is postponed until the following week - details to follow soon

For members taking part in the visit to Skipsea Castle Excavations on Wednesday there is parking at Skipsea Village Hall car park. Please all meet there at 2 pm. Wear appropriate footwear and clothing for possible inclement conditions and uneven ground. It was a fabulous visit last year so it will be fantastic to find out how things have progressed since then. Have a lovely afternoon!

The latest newsletter includes the agenda for this year’s AGM to be held on the 17^th of April. Accompanying the News is a separate copy of the proposed revised Constitution plus a guide to the changes recommended.  It is important that members read this document and if you have any questions, please contact John Deverell at [email protected] .

If you feel that you would like to participate in the overall management of the Society, there is currently a vacancy on next year’s committee.  If you would like more details, please contact John at [email protected] .

DUE TO ILLNESS CHRIS HANNARD HAS KINDLY STEPPED IN TO TALK ABOUT METAL DETECTING AND THE ROLE OF THE PORTABLE ANTIQUITIES SCHEME (PAS). HE WILL ALSO BE BRINGING SOME OF HIS INCREDIBLE EAST YORKSHIRE FINDS. DON'T MISS THIS!!!!

Please note that our Field Studies will take place on WEDNESDAY 10 APRIL and NOT 3 April, the date it normally would be. This is to ensure our Field Studies Officer is back from holiday to host an evening on practical photogrammetry in archaeology. We look forward to seeing you there at 7.30 pm at St Nicholas Parish Rooms, Holmechurch Lane, Beverley. Please take the steps to the left - and our room is on the right hand side at the top of the stairs.
