OTHER SOCIETY
EVENINGS.
On Monday evenings, except for Bank Holiday Mondays, and not in the
months of December and January, we meet from 7.30pm to 9.30pm in our
room at CRAMPTON TOWER YARD, BROADSTAIRS.
On those evenings, if no organised talk on archaeology or local history
has been arranged, there is an informal members' get-together, perhaps
doing pot-washing, preparing a future event, discussing a current
project, examining recent finds with advice from a local professional
archaeologist, or just chatting about local archaeology.
If you are interested in joining the Society then this is a good way to
meet us and find out what's going on - please just drop in. MAP |

MUSEUM AT QUEX: A
group of members meet at the museum in Birchington on Wednesday
mornings and are continuing to work on a rearrangement of the
archaeology display. Please speak to a Committee member if you are
interested in helping with this aspect of the Society's work. |
