In just under three years time GAS will be celebrating its sesquicentennial: one hundred and fifty years of lectures, publications and excursions. The Council is looking at a number of ways of celebrating this anniversary (e.g. a themed lectures series, excursions, special publications, an exhibition) and has begun to organise and prepare for the proposed events, though they are only possibilities at present.
Members will be saddened to learn of the death of William Graham Jardine known to all (except perhaps the medical profession!) as Graham, and he will be fondly remembered as a Past-President of the Society and for the contribution of his Geological discipline to Archaeology.
