Note updated details
We have organised a tour of the 'Creatures of the Nile' exhibition at the VG&M. On Thursday 25th July at 11am, Dr Juliet Spedding will be giving us a talk. She is a co-curator of the exhibition and a post-doctoral researcher on the BEAST project.
For those interested, this will be followed by lunch at Cuthbert's, which is about an 8 minute walk away. Cuthbert's have asked for a pre-order so please can you have a look at their menu and let me know by Thursday the 18th. If you no longer wish to attend lunch, please do also let me know as we have a large booking.

(The VG & G Waterhouse Cafe is closed)
In addition, Cheryl Tempest is a tour guide at the VG&M so can offer a private tour of the Victoria Building for whomever fancies on the day. The Garstang should also be open, should you wish to maximise your time on the University campus.
Dr Gina Criscenzo-Laycock will be at the Garstang should you wish to go there afterwards and she'll be happy to answer any questions and show people around there.
11am - meet in the VG&M foyer. Talk by Dr Spedding. Free time to walk around.
12 noon - tour of the VG&M by me, for those who are interested.
1pm - lunch at Cuthbert's.
Please contact Cheryl at cherylegyptology@outlook.com to express your interest in joining the tour, plus whether you would like to join for lunch.
It will feature the Egyptian and Sudanese collections of the Garstang Museum of Archaeology, with additional artefacts on loan from National Museums Liverpool and Manchester Museum.
Dr Ashley Cooke has kindly offered to give a tour and handling session at National Museum Liverpool's warehouse stores. The focus will be on antiquities acquired from the Wellcome collection as a tie-in to Dr Ken Griffin's talk in September. A date has not yet been fixed, but is likely to be shortly after this Zoom lecture.
Due to the nature of the building, please can you let Cheryl Tempest know at cherylegyptology@outlook.com if this is something you would be interested in as a maximum of eight people can be accommodated in the session.
At each meeting in the Mayer Hall we have a selection of Egyptology books for sale, at very reasonable prices.
There is also a selection of wonderful items produced by Steve Tasker.
All Profits to WAES.
