A slightly early blog this week (and update to our table of those having registered an interest in attending), as I have an all-day training event tomorrow. We have made good progress with some administrative and technical issues (some still to be addressed) this week, which means we are getting near to sending our second (and final) bulk email; this will have links for ‘official’ registration for the free afternoon event at the Avenue campus and the ticketed evening event at the Highfield campus. So please keep an eye on your email in early February (and that spam folder just in case…).

Regards. The Archaeology 50th Anniversary organising committee.

It is perhaps inevitable that not everyone is registered with our central University of Southampton alumni office, or that people have forgotten to update their contact details after moving (guilty as charged…). It is now very easy to stay in touch, or update your contact details online (http://www.southampton.ac.uk/alumni-supporters/stay-in-touch.page) – go on, you know you want to 🙂

Back to the numbers game – we now have 223 people as having ‘registered an interest’ on Eventbrite and 193 people have given us permission to list their details on our event website!

Today we hit 200 people as having registered an interest on Eventbrite (with a bit of help from existing staff…) and 174 people giving us permission to list their name. With emails and letters this means we are definitely over 200 now!

We also have our first members of the class of 1970 (the first ever students to graduate with Archaeology degrees from the University of Southampton), with three alumni listed and another having written to us, asking to attend our celebration event!

Regards. The Archaeology 50th Anniversary organising committee.

We now have 183 people as having ‘registered an interest’ in attending on the 29th April 2017, with 158 people giving us permission to list them on our event website.

We would like to ask our alumni to raise awareness of the event on social media (Twitter, Facebook etc.) using the hashtag #suarch50 and pointing people to the event website (https://generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk/suarch50/).

Thanks. The Archaeology 50th Anniversary organising committee.
