Hello all,
 
We've been beavering away on the preparations for the Archaeology and
Education conference.  The programme is available on the CBA website -
http://www.britarch.ac.uk/conference08/.  We have 45 speakers, possibly
47 by the end of this week, over the three days of the conference.
 
We've made all the arrangements with St Johns. Their conference booking
system includes letting them know exact figures for meals and
accommodation, with names for the latter, 6 weeks beforehand - obviously
impossible.  We'll tell them we can only estimate at this stage and will
send final figures nearer the time.
 
We will begin registering people for the conference on the afternoon of
the Thursday, with a registration desk.  There will be some extra
displays from CBA North East and a training company called Cory Jones.
 
As you know, I can't be there for the Saturday and Sunday.  IAN - would
you mind being me for those two days, in overall charge, and giving the
wind up/chairing the Sunday plenary?
 
We'll share out tasks during the conference itself among every one
nearer the time.
 
Bookings thus far are very slow - only 5 non-speakers so far.  We will
probably have to make a decision in about a fortnight's time whether we
go ahead or not.  Publicity has been emailed out to a wide variety of
places since late June.  The response has been a little disappointing.
 
All the best,
Don
