Apologies for sending that email out to everyone, phone is never the ideal device for emails.
Best Wishes,

Dear Liz,
Thank you for letting me know. I was coming quite a long way from York and the short notice has meant that I had already collected train tickets for travel tomorrow. Unfortunately cancelling them has meant that I am unable to claim a full refund, as a student that's not an ideal scenario. It is a shame that you have had to cancel and I completely understand your reasons for doing so. It is a shame that I didn't know on Tuesday when I booked my tickets for travel. I will look forward to the next meeting though.
Best Wishes,
Hayley

Subject: New date for Charcoal/Wood workgroup meeting
APPOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING:
Charcoal/wood workgroup meeting Sat 24th November at The Hive, Worcester
Apologies but I've decided to postpone this meeting as the number who could come for this date are too few to justify running it. However, I would be happy to host a meeting after New Year.
Is there an interest in a meeting, say March time? Any opinions on this would be welcome.
If people are still interested I would arrange the same agenda for the day as suggested before - ie the main theme would be how to make good use of sites like the burnt Saxon house at West Stow, Suffolk and a similar one in Worcestershire (at Bishop's Wood Environmental Centre) for research into the archaeology of fire destruction deposits, site taphonomy and the deterioration process. The emphasis would be on charcoal/wood analysis, but there obviously could be a wider environmental archaeology interest. If anyone is looking for project work for students, then we at Worcestershire Archaeology would welcome and support any interest in working on the Bishop's Wood site. Please do let me know if you are interested.
There would be time for the usual microscope session to bring in your charcoal/wood items of interest.
As an article on some initial work at Bishop's Wood is just coming out I've attached it. I gather from Gill Campbell that the publication volume on the burnt house at West Stow has also just been published.
