EASA Electronic Evenings - Autumn 2021:

We are currently planning a new Autumn series of electronic evenings following the success of those in the Spring. 

Bats in Churches - 23rd September 2021 at 5pm

In the first of our Autumn electronic evenings, Rachel Arnold, Bats in Churches Heritage Advisor for the Churches Conservation Trust, will introduce the project and its work and will give us a chance to see what the project has been doing to assist churches from the larger bat mitigation projects down to the small scale and focused protection of particular heritage assets. Claire Boothby, the Bats in Churches Training and Survey Officer, will talk about the bat species likely to be found in churches and their typical maternal and paternal roosting locations. Members of the project will join us to talk about their aims for the future and how these may be useful to the wider world of church architectural conservation, and we will also hear from three EASA members on their experiences of having been involved with the project so far.

EASA will be holding a further virtual evening meeting at 5.00 p.m. on Wednesday 6 October 2021 developing our thoughts on Net Zero Carbon matters. This is the third of our EASA Electronic Evenings looking at matters of sustainability and it follows up on our earlier session during the series last May, on the installation of photo-voltaic cells on church buildings. Our speakers for the evening will discuss installations at Gloucester and Salisbury Cathedrals.

AGM and Autumn Meetings:

Postponement of the EASA Autumn Conference 2021: Salisbury

The EASA Autumn Conference planned to take place this September in Salisbury has had to be cancelled due to the current national situation with regard to the Covid-19 pandemic. The EASA General Committee took this decision on Monday, 19^th July 2021, following a comprehensive review of the associated health and economic risks involved, which made running the conference simply not responsible, or viable to run.

As this very interesting conference has been fully planned it has been decided to postpone it until March 2022, when it is hoped that the national situation will be more conducive to a face to face event. Further information about this matter will be sent to members shortly, along with the forthcoming Journal.

We remain hopeful of holding a 'face to face' AGM and Autumn Meeting along with the Awards Ceremony, on Thursday, 4^th November 2021, in London as previously announced.
