Good (Friday) Afternoon GEMers I am writing to introduce you to the Young Archaeologists' Club, the only UK-wide Club for young people aged 8-16 dedicated to archaeology and all things historic. YAC is part of the Council for British Archaeology, an educational charity established in 1944. We are seeking partners to join us in the YAC Pass, a scheme to enable our members to access special offers at social history and archaeology museums and sites. Many museums across the UK offer YAC members either free or discounted entry as part of the YAC Pass (including many museums represented by folk on the GEM network). The scheme is also open to museums that are already free to access, but which could offer our members discounts in site shops or other benefits. Some sites for instance allow our members free use of audio guides, or a free information booklet. Nationally, Historic Scotland, Cadw, English Heritage, the Northern Ireland Environment Agency, Manx National Heritage and the British Museum Company support the scheme. A further 160+ independent museums and sites across the UK are also involved (for details of sites involved, please visit the YAC website at www.yac-uk.org). In 2010 we hope that we can expand the scheme yet further! Your involvement would therefore be much appreciated. Attached to this email are the following documents: A flyer outlining further details about YAC and the YAC Pass scheme, which highlights the benefits in becoming a partner organisation A sample page from our 2009-10 advertising booklet The form that you should complete in order to become involved with the scheme If you would like your organisation to become part of the YAC Pass scheme, simply complete the form and return it via email. To guarantee your free advert within the YAC Pass booklet, the form must be returned before Wednesday 9th December 2009. This enables sufficient time for the production of the booklet to be completed in time for inserting in our club magazine Young Archaeologist in early 2010. If you have any questions, or if you require further information then do contact me. My direct telephone number is 01904 521236. I look forward to hearing from you.
