Another difficult year – inflation with its attendant high prices continues unabated. Secretary, Mr Greening, set up an interesting series of lectures. City Council are intending to raise the Headquarters rent. Consequently looking for other premises. Members spending Tuesday evenings packing up the Camerton and Nettleton finds from the years 1925 to 1971, for movement to Bristol City Museum. ‘Sad to reflect that despite our efforts Bath has failed to make satisfying provision for the Camerton collection and continues its squirrel like attitude towards its own collections’. Nettleton report publication underway. 3rd November last year, Society acted as host to the Affiliated Societies to Avon Archaeological Council. Very successful – overbooked. Visit to excavation at Orange Grove Bath and to the Reserve Collection at the Bath Roman Baths Museum. A series of fortnightly evening outings instead of excursions. Similar series planned for the coming year. Society represented at meetings of the Somerset Archaeological Society, Avon Archaeological Society, CBA Group Meetings, Council for Rescue Archaeology in Avon, Gloucester, & Somerset, and Bath Archaeological Trust. The Secretary, Mr Greening has continued with the Bath Preservation Trust. Happy to report, that following the appointment of Mr Sam Hunt as Curator of the Bath collections, BACAS have been asked to co-operate with this work. W J Wedlake led Glastonbury Abbey excavation.
