As we prepare for Egyptology Scotland's 2018-19 session, we would like to thank everyone who has supported us over the last year. Membership for the coming session is due at the end of September - as per agreement at our last AGM, the subscription fee for 2018-19 remains £18 for adults and £8 for under 16s, and the standard entry fee for lectures is increased slightly to £4 for members and £6 for non-members.

We are currently finalising our new programme of lectures and events, including a proposed weekend trip (train journey from Glasgow) to the British Museum to see the forthcoming exhibition 'I am Ashurbanipal: king of the world, king of Assyria', which runs from 8 November 2018 - 24 February 2019. At the moment, we are taking expressions of interest before looking into dates/cost, so if you would like to join us (with no obligation at this point), please reply to this email to be added to the list. Non-members are welcome, but priority will be given to members.

Our first lecture of the session is on 6th October 2018, 1.45pm in Kelvingrove Museum & Gallery Lecture Room, Glasgow, when we will be joined by Dr Mohamed Kenawi:
