Apologies to all, but due to unforeseen circumstances we’ve had to cancel the lecture that Prof. Breeze was going to be giving this coming week.

We hope to be able to reschedule it for the next academic year.

The AGM was held yesterday, many thanks to those who came along.

The office bearers for next year are:

President: Calum Robertson
Secretary: Rosie Pickles
Treasurer: Annahita Heydari-Fard

Other ordinary committee positions are available. If you’re interested in helping out, drop us an email.

The Annual General Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday 24th February, 13:00 in Room F1 (Stuart Piggott) in the Archaeology Department.

The purpose of the meeting is to elect the committee for next year, so it is important that as many of you turn up as possible.

All of the positions are available for election, if you’d like to stand, turn up on the day prepared to speak about yourself, and we’ll hold a vote.

A few points from our Constitution that are important to the AGM:

• Any member of ArchSoc is granted the right to propose constitutional amendments, as long as it is brought to the committees attention in writing prior to 14 days preceding the AGM.
• Constitutional amendments shall require a two-thirds majority at a general meeting open to all members: the quorum of such a meeting shall be 6 besides the committee.
• The AGM must take place between week 7 and week 10 of term 2.
• Those who wish to vote at meetings, general or annual, must have been a paid up member for a minimum of two weeks prior to the meeting.
• The President will not vote in elections for office bearers. Instead he or she, shall only cast a vote in the event of a tie.

With the exception of the Christmas Meal, ArchSoc, along with most people are now taking a break for the Festive period.

We resume in January with Anne Taylor giving a talk on Textiles in Archaeology on Tuesday 26th. Before that there will probably be a couple of pub nights, which we will keep you informed on.

Hope you all have a happy break!
