CBA SE Grants News
From August 2022 there was a change to the reviewing of CBA South East Grant applications. New applications will now be considered only at meetings held twice a year, in October and April. Applications should be submitted to the CBASE by either the 1st October or 1st April for consideration.
There is no change to the type of applications that can be submitted. All applications will be considered by the CBA South East committee.
Over the past 24 years the CBA South East has given grants to a variety of projects. Community and school projects, along with the Young Archaeologists Club (YAC), have been well supported. Other grants have been given towards excavations, where volunteers and training has been an important aspect. The publication of reports and help with specialist research has also benefited from CBASE support. Applications which have not been supported include help with student fees and a study tour of the Mediterranean.

AGM 2024
Our AGM was held on Tuesday 13th February at 19:00, following a presentation by Trevor Creighton, Project Archaeologist at Butser Ancient Farm, and Sue Webber, who has also worked on projects there, with the title “Installing a mosaic floor at Butser Ancient Farm”, about the project to install a mosaic floor at the Butser Ancient Farm’s Sparsholt Villa reconstruction. The mosaic was closely based upon the original Sparsholt reception room mosaic.
Proposed changes to our Constitution, the Chair’s report and Treasurer statement were all accepted. The acceptance of Trustee positions was equally proposed and approved (see the revised Committee list).
