Canterbury Archaeological Trust Day Schools

I thought some of the courses below might appeal to members of Rainham Historical Society and wondered if you could circulate this to them (or to anyone else you know of who may be interested). We’d be more than happy to discuss discounts for group bookings if several people from the Society were interested.
 
Many thanks,
 
Andrew
 
Canterbury Archaeological Trust now offers a series of archaeology day schools. These courses are aimed at all levels, from the complete beginner to the experienced ‘old hand’. The tutors, drawn from the Trust’s staff of professional archaeologists, have years of field and specialist experience. The courses draw upon the Trust’s resources and extensive archives to provide ‘hands-on’ learning, rooted in a real-world, vocational, approach to archaeology. Whether someone is just starting out in archaeology, or seeking to develop specific skills or areas of interest, we have a course to suit.
 
The venue for most courses will be Canterbury Archaeological Trust, 92a Broad Street, Canterbury, CT1 2LU,  unless specified otherwise. The current programme of courses is listed below.
