On Thursday 15th September we shall be opening the Research Centre from 10-3 as part of the Heritage Open Day programme. There will be members at work at finds processing and the library will be open to browse. It is free to members and non-members alike who are welcome to come to see some aspects of what the Society can offer.
Talk to be given by Simon Ritchie. The Ordance Survey has been mapping the UK for over 200 years. Until recently they used simple mathematics, theodolities and a network of benchmarks and trig points to achieve one metre accuracy, a triumph of engineering in its day. This network is now redundant and beginning to need conservation, but nobody is picking up that responsibility.
The Annual General Meeting of Surrey Archaeological Society will be held in St Catherine's Village Hall, Chestnut Avenue,Guildford from 2.30pm.
