CHAS (but not Dave)
The Combined Hertfordshire Archaeological Societies (CHAS) was formed in October to provide a platform for some of the archaeological groups in the county to be able to run some form of event during the covid-19 pandemic. The five societies involved are:
- The Welwyn Archaeological Society
- The East Herts Archaeological Society
- The North Herts Archaeological Society
- The Norton Community Archaeology Group
- The South-West Herts Archaeological and Historical Society
In addition, the Hertfordshire Association for Local History had to run their annual symposium online and both contributed towards the initial licence, as well as paying for a month’s extension to allow for 500 attendees. Attendance at these meetings is free, but if you are not a member of one of the contributing groups, please consider joining. Our usual worries about membership are magnified by the pandemic.
Tickets for the CHAS lectures can be obtained via Eventbrite. Links for the meetings are available on the CHAS page of this website.

Thanks to all the societies for doing this – it had been a wonderful way of keeping going during lockdown – still miss the meetings, but this is a great alternative.
