December Seminar and BCRA AGM. Monday 13 December
Our online seminar on Monday 13 December is "Searching for early prehistory in British caves: recent work and new promise", with: Rob Dinnis. Starting time: 19:30 GMT. See https://bcra.org.uk/seminar
BCRA's annual general meeting, which was due to be held on Saturday 27 November, did not take place due to the snowstorm on the Friday night. The AGM has been re-scheduled as a Zoom meeting for 18:45 on 13 December immediately before our monthly IYCK seminar, which starts at 19:30. The Zoom link will be the same as the one for the monthly seminar, so you can join by going to https://bcra.org.uk/seminar
Members are reminded to provide their membership number using the Zoom "chat" facility during the meeting, so we can count you towards the quorum. The agenda papers are online at https://bcra.org.uk/agm/2021/
