Dear Friends and fellow Egyptophiles,

Issue #5 of the Egyptology North newsletter is now available; please click the link here to read it: Egyptology North April-June 2013.

This quarter’s issue has articles about the upcoming EES/Liverpool Ancient Worlds study day in August and the recent Manchester Ancient Egypt Society study day, as well as the usual directory of events, societies and museums.

We’d be very grateful to receive reviews of the events, exhibitions etc previewed here (we’d love to hear from either organisers or attendees), to feature in future EN newsletters. Please also feel free to send any information that you would like to see in the newsletter to jthorne@egyptology-north.co.uk.

Best wishes,

The Egyptology North team
(Ian Shaw, Julia Thorne and Nick Wernick)

Joanne Backhouse will be running a Continuing Education course at the University of Liverpool, starting on January 18. Open to all. Please open the file below for full details, or contact Jo on xg0u204b@liv.ac.uk.

Egyptian Art (3)

Unfortunately, the Great Discoveries of Egypt course has had to be cancelled. If, however, the course piqued your interest, please do contact the Manchester Ancient Egypt Society (http://www.maes.org.uk/).

Dear Friends and fellow Egyptophiles,

Summer’s almost gone, as The Doors once sang, and we’ve all found ourselves subjected to some of the worst rain this country’s seen in 30 years; I find myself hankering after the substantially sunnier climes of our beloved Kemet. I do hope this newsletter finds you all in a suitably unflooded situation!

In the world of Egyptology, the autumn sees the new season of society lectures kick-off, so you can wave goodbye to the hole left by the summer holidays and find a wonderful selection of lectures in the Events section of the newsletter.

Yes, it’s that time again – our quarterly newsletter is making its rounds, and this time we get to hear from TheBES, the newest society in the region, as well as our own newsletter editor, Julia, about her trip to the recent Manchester Ancient Egypt Society study day.

Click here to read the newsletter. It’s well worth a read…and if you know of anyone else who’d be interested in it, please do pass it on.

We’re always on the lookout for article submissions, either from society/museum organisers or from members and attendees, so please do get in touch with Julia at jthorne@egyptology-north.co.uk if you have something you’d like to write about.

The second quarterly Egyptology North newsletter is now available – we hope you find it useful. Do let us know if you have any suggestions as to how to improve it. You can download it from here:
