by Katherine Crawford
Do you have books gathering dust at home? Give them a new home! Consider donating your old books to this year’s charity book sale, taking place during the symposium May 20-21. You can find donation boxes in the Archaeology coffee room or near the reception desk at Avenue Campus, building 65.
If you like baking and love showing off your creations consider baking a cake for the PGRAS bake sale! If you would like to make something email us at pgrsymposium@gmail.com, just so we don’t end up with 10 different types of banana bread.
All profits from the book and bake sale go to supporting the local refugee support service Southampton and Winchester Visitors Group. http://swvg-refugees.org.uk/public/

Dear All,Â
Do you like shoving bits of cocoa-flavoured goodness in your mouth? Maybe you like to share, maybe you donât â we wonât judge! The only thing we will judge you on is whether youâve earned said chocolatey delights, by creating the most eye-catching,memorable and cheaply reproducible logo for this years Postgraduate Research Archaeology Symposium!
Donât like chocolate? No worries! You can just use your logo-inspired influence upon us to give you the most convenient scheduling for your presentation! We like to think that we can all be winners at PGRAS! Except those who donât win.
Send your entry to pgrsymposium@gmail.com by March 9th as a jpeg file, to ensure you donât miss out on this fantastic career-making opportunity!
Seriously though, we expect about 2 entries so there’s a good change you’ll score the munchies. Better get cracking!
