APRIL FRAG TALK & AGM CANCELLED
Due to unforeseen circumstances, our speaker for this evening, Jason Cumberworth, has had to cancel and with such short notice we’ve been unable to get a replacement speaker, despite many calls, and much scurrying by the committee. The AGM will also be pushed back to the May talk session.
Our sincerest apologies, but Julie and Tamsin will be there anyway if anyone fancies a chat and a coffee or tea, possibly a biscuit.
FRAG Annual General Meeting – PLUS:
Done and Dusted – A Follow-Up to ‘Dusting Off the Archives’
We’re delighted to welcome back Jay Cumberworth BA (Hons) ACIfA, Archaeology Project Officer at Peterborough Museum.
Jay will be bringing us up to date with all things Archaeology at Peterborough Museum.
The latest acquisitions, along with a follow-up on the Peterborough Archaeological Archive Enhancement Project (PAAEP) which some of us have been involved in over the years and won the award for Excellence from the Society for Museum Archaeology (SMA).
He’ll also be sharing more about ‘My Must Farm’, a soon to be permanent display showcasing some of the remarkable Must Farm artefacts.
As if that wasn’t enough, Jay will give us a glimpse into some intriguing upcoming projects — sure to surprise and delight, and it’s probably not what you might expect!
Peterborough Museum has recently been awarded a £250,000 grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund to support a two-year initiative centred on the internationally significant Bronze Age archaeology of Must Farm.
There’s a chance to have your say in coming weeks. As well as at Jay’s FRAG talk there will be a series of drop-in events at the museum where you can get up close to artefacts, meet the project team, and share your ideas about how the story of the “Pompeii of the Fens” should be told.
