There will be lots to look forward to in 2021 as next year's events will also include the postponed History Fair in June and the Early Man conference in the autumn.
Membership fees for 2020 have been carried over to 2021 so if you have paid up to date there will be no membership fees to pay (there will however be a charge if you would like to receive the 2021 journal) - details to follow in the new year).
