Roman Remains? - A Society Member's Event - Sunday 5th September

The Society's Newsletter is delivered to everyone in St Michael's and Kingsbury, regardless of whether households are Society members or not. However it is this Society which organises and pays for its production and distribution. The Committee has been looking at ways of benefiting our paid up membership beyond the price reduction on local concert tickets and attendance at the AGM.

By kind permission of Adam and Jill Singer and archaeological expert Simon West, member households are invited, in the first instance, to bring along any unidentified items of interest from their gardens to Kingsbury Barn between 12 noon and 4.00 pm. Garden detectives of any age are encouraged to scour their plots in the coming months for any old pottery or glass pieces, oyster shells or toga pins! Much of our area was either in Verulamium or covered with city rubbish in Roman times and has acquired unwanted household items ever since. A more detailed programme for the day will be given in our August Newsletter, but do put the event in your diary/calendar now. As membership Secretary, I will be there on the day to welcome participants. Those from households that are not already members can pay to join for what will then be the New Year 2010/11, on the door.
