This section contains details of our programme of lectures and our summer visits. For the schedule of SOAG fieldwork see SOAG Calendar.

Programme of Lectures

We run a mixture of online and in-person lectures. The in-person lectures are held at the Sonning Common Village Hall (location map) at 7.30 pm (unless stated otherwise) and are open to all, although donations at the door are appreciated. (Note this is a change from the venue we have used in recent years - Goring Heath Parish Hall in Whitchurch Hill)

For the online meetings SOAG members will be sent an invitation to register for the meeting in an email and-or in SOAG Messenger, our newsletter. Non members who wish to attend should email events@soagarch.org.uk to receive registration details.
