One of the great pleasures of my new role at the GA will be the chance to attend GA BRANCH meetings, and meet members and local organising committee members.
One of the oldest GA branches is the Manchester branch, which operates under the presidency of Professor Michael Bradford, with Sue Bermingham as chair. It is celebrating its CENTENARY YEAR and still going strong as one of the oldest GA Branches in the country.
Earlier today I travelled across the Pennines to deliver the first lecture in the Manchester branch's 2008-9 lecture series, at Manchester University.
Thanks to Ernie Savage for the invitation, which was months ago.
You can see the presentation below, thanks to Slideshare.
How about checking out a GA branch near you ?
Many of them have lecture programmes that you can take students to.
The BRANCH PAGE on the GA website has links to most of them.
Look at the map below. Can you see a gap in your own area ?
Perhaps you could be the person to start arranging some events for local teachers ? All the relevant details are on the GA's website.
Many thanks to the 150 or so students who attended the lecture tonight.
The next lecture in the series is described below:
Once over, it was back round the M60 and over the M62, past some of the familiar fieldwork locations from my undergraduate days, and back down into Yorkshire.
