This appeared on Britarch today and I have taken the liberty of cross
posting it as I know Geoff had many friends on this list.
There will be a memorial event for Geoff Egan from 2 to 5.30 pm on 24
March in the BP lecture theatre in the Clore Education centre at the
British Museum when Geoff's friends and colleagues
will contribute their memories, followed by a party. Speakers include
John Cherry of the Finds Research Group and formerly of the British
Museum, Hazel Forsyth of the Museum of London, Gus
Milne of the Institute of Archaeology, Paul Courtney of the Society
for Post-Medieval Archaeology, a representative of the Mudlarks and Mark
Bridge of the Company of Arts Scholars. All are
welcome. Booking is required; please contact [log in to unmask]
There will be space for 300, but please book early as places are going
very fast as so many of Geoff's friends and colleagues want to be there
to remember and celebrate his life.
Roger Bland's address from Geoff's funeral (last Friday) can be read on
the Portable Antiquities Scheme website at
