As the 50th Anniversary of NDAS coincides with the 50th birthday of North Devon AONB we are together organising a day-conference in October. The day, entitled ‘Time and Tide’, will be dedicated to the archaeology and history of the North Devon coast and will be a first for North Devon. The date is Saturday 24th October, the place the Landmark Theatre at Ilfracombe. We have lined up five main speakers who will talk on themes ranging from environmental change in the Bristol Channel to the North Devon Coast in the Second World War. It is hoped that the day will be introduced by Mark Horton (you will have seen him on Coast on TV), who is an AONB ‘Champion’. Priority for bookings will go to NDAS members up to 30th June. It will then be advertised to the general public. See the details and booking slip included with this mailing. |
