ACE Archaeology Club

https://acearchaeologyclub.wordpress.com
ACE meets on the first Saturday of the month, where we meet will depend upon the activity, as we have no headquarters as such. As well as our regular meetings, there are various ongoing projects to get involved with. There is a quarterly newsletter for members with articles, reports, updates and a diary of meetings and events. We have been working on a site near Winkleigh for some years.
Everything is Covid dependent at present.
We charge a subscription of £10.00 per person per year and sometimes a charge has to be made for the monthly activities.
Active Devon
Active Devon is a community-focused, non-profit organisation dedicated to inspiring and supporting Devon to be active.
We believe movement is central to living healthier, happier and more connected lives whatever your age, ability or background.
