Oops...Website is down

Hey everyone!

We have had a slight issue whereby the website is down...as well as our e-mail account.

We are working on resolving the problem...Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

A Little behind...

Ok so we're a little behind on these updates...

But for your information...the Society is quickly becoming MASSIVE!

Let me explain to you what our society now does...

Our Lecture Series is longer and more extensive than any module provided by the department!
Our Socials are becoming almost legendary!
Our Workshops get bigger and better all the time!
We have trips planned!
We've got a Football Team!
We've got a running Team!
We're in the process of setting up a mentoring scheme!
We've been featured on BBC Radio Sheffield, the Yorkshire Post and Time Team!
We're the LARGEST student run Archaeological Organisation in the Country!
We've got a You Tube Channel
You can buy Society Clothing ONLINE!
We're setting up Podcasts!
We have a Facebook Application!
We have so many online resources we have to have a search bar on our website!

All this for £5 a year...Try to beat that!...

Quiet?? Of Course not! Hoodies, Lectures & Sports Galore!!

So...it may appear to have been quiet recently...so I'm sure you're all wondering what is happening...

Well...
The Lecture Series is now available for all to see on the Website if you don't know where that is go to www.arch-soc.co.uk

The Hoodies for 2009/10 are now available in a wide variety of colours! (Navy Blue, Royal Blue, Red, Green, Yellow and Black) They're £18.99 from the web site!
(You can even add your own name for an extra £2)
again see the website.

Sports! We officially have a 5-a-side football team for the Intra-Mural (as this was by far the most popular)! We're in the 2.30pm Sunday League and we shall publish the fixtures when we know them ourselves.

But we're still signing up for the Half-Marathon we'll be entering as official team(s) of 3/4. Places have been going like hot cakes so sign up now!
There should be some student verses staff "friendly" matches of various sports over the year also so keep your eyes open.

Cheers All,
Alan
