Happy Valley Dig Summer 2009

When: June 28th, 2009 @ 10am - 1pm GMT
Where:

As part of an ongoing investigation into activity in Happy Valley, Marlow, we are conducting an exploratory excavation. Volunteers and AiM members have been working hard for the last two Sundays and we envisage the dig taking at least two more Sundays.

Part of AiM’s purpose is to educate and train, so we welcome even novice diggers to come along and assist.

Happy Valley is near Beechwood Drive (off the Henley Road and at the junction between the Henley Road and Pound Lane). We meet at 10am and aim to finish at about 12:30 depending on the weather and the willingness of the diggers!

For more information contact John Laker, our Fieldwork Co-Ordinator, on 01628 481792
