AGM 2014 and new committee for 2014/2015

Dear everyone,

Last night, the Archaeology Society held its annual AGM. And what a night! After an introduction by Dr Steve Davis, current Auditor Cian Corrigan gave an overview of the Society's work this year through a powerful slideshow, summarising all our trips, events, charity events, nights out... Pictures brought back memories of these good moments, and Cian gave us extra info like the fact that for both the Halloween and the Masquearade Balls, the Archaeology Society sold the most tickets ! Well done everyone !

Cian then gave an update on our current internet presence, which I shall briefly recap here.
Our Facebook group  has welcome almost 200 new members since September and this year only, we have hosted more than 30 events, ranging from special coffee mornings to day trips, to evening seminars.
This website was launched in August 2013 and to this date (18/04/2014), it has received 7895 visitors, from a wide range of countries:
Ireland
4578
United States
1528
United Kingdom

Ukraine
206
France
180
Germany

Russia
136
China

Sweden

Our Twitter account has to this day 276 followers, including none other than the British Museum, the National Museum of Ireland, the Museo Nazionale Romano,and Oxford publishers. It is a growing platform which we are hoping to develop in the future and give the Society more online publicity.
