As the Covid 19 situation still means
we are unable to meet in person, we are very grateful to
Dr Daniela Rosenow for organising our next Study Day
online. The topics cover glass from the Iron Age to the
Anglo-Saxon period and the meeting will be held by Zoom on
the 12th of May 2021. For more details please click on the
meetings tab at the top of this page or email the Honorary
Secretary, Sally Cottam via ahgstudydays@gmail.com.
Timings of further 2021 meetings are still uncertain, however plans are underway for our 2-day meeting 'Glass in the North' to be held at Vindolanda and Newcastle and we will keep you up to date here as soon as we have definite timings for this event. In the mean time there is much to look forward to over the coming months. We are excited by the proposals for a United Nations 'International Year of Glass 2022' and await the decision in the next few weeks as to whether this will go ahead. More information can be found on the IYOG2022 webpage here. At the AGM we were delighted to welcome three new members of the AHG Board. Victoria Lucas, Eleonora Montanari and Tim Penn will be taking over the Editor roles for Glass News. The latest edition is in the final stages of preparation and will be sent to members soon.
The Board of the AHG send best wishes to all our members and followers as well as thanks for your continuing support.
