Archaeology day courses at Canterbury Archaeological Trust

Our new season of archaeology courses commence this Saturday and run through until March. I’d be really grateful if you could circulate this to your members. Last year’s courses were really well received and were attended by people from across Kent, the south east and beyond. This year we are repeating some of the courses and running a new one, ‘The Archaeology of the Kingdom of Kent’, on 22nd November. Places for the latter are filling up fast.

Details of all the courses can be found at: http://www.canterburytrust.co.uk/community_archaeology/archaeology-courses and bookings can be made online via Paypal. You can also pay by posting a cheque or by bank transfer (BACS). Contact me for details for the latter.

If  a number of people would like to make a group booking, it is best to contact me direct to discuss as we may be able to offer a group discount, depending on numbers and the course booked. And as always, we’re very open to ideas for future courses. Next year we aim to have a training excavation at East Wear Bay, Folkestone and I also hope we’ll be able to start offering guided tours around local sites in our minibus.

All courses are held at our offices at 92a Broad Street, Canterbury CT1 2LU and run from 10am until 4pm. Any other questions, please let me know. If you’d like to be removed from this mailing list, or would like an alternative contact used, again, let me know.
Best wishes,

Apologies to anyone looking to view recent articles on the Rainham History site. It has been hacked this week and we are just trying to recover it back at the moment.

New Micro Pub Opening in Rainham Kent

The micropub revolution has reached Rainham! A new micropub will be opening soon in Station Road Rainham Kent in the premises previously used by Paynes Motor Spares and later by a hairdressing salon. Ironically it is virtually opposite the Railway Pub that closed down a few months ago.

The location seems ideal with very easy access to the station and situated on a busy road with plenty of passing trade and many people within 10 minutes walk of the pub.

We don't yet know the name of the micropub or when it will open but keeping checking for more details.

Domain Registration Scam Fake Emails

Just received this message. They seem to claim someone wants to register rainham-history in China. It's a complete scam. Why would anyone want or care to register something like that in Asia?

No-one manually checks domain registrations, they go through automatically so the whole premise of the emails is completely fake.

=========================================

Dear CEO/Principal,This is Nicholas Lee---Senior Consultant of domain name registration and solution center in China. Here I have something to confirm with you. We formally received an application on May 15,2014. that a company claimed "RANGLANCE LTD" were applying to register "rainham-history" as their Network Brand and some "rainham-history" Asian countries top-level domain names(in/hk/tw/etc) and China (CN) domain names through our firm.Now we are handling this registration, and after our initial checking, we found the name were similar to your company's, so we need to check with you whether your company has authorized that company to register these names. If you authorized this, we would finish the registration at once. If you did not authorize, please let us know within 7 workdays, so that we could handle this issue better. After the deadline we will unconditionally finish the registration for "RANGLANCE LTD". Looking forward to your prompt reply.(This is a very important case, so please transfer this email to your CEO or Principal. Thanks a lot.)Best Regards,Nicholas LeeSenior Consultant Manager
