Conference on the Crusades - this is not organised by S&G u3a

A history conference focusing on the crusades, being held in Glastonbury Town Hall, on 19th April. The event, CrusadeCon ’24, is being held in partnership with Strode College, Street in memory of James Arlett who was a lecturer on their History, Heritage and Archaeology BA(Hons) degree programme.
James, whose postgraduate studies focused on the crusades, died following a short battle with cancer in January 2023, and the decision of the organisers is that all profits from the conference will go to Macmillan Cancer Support.
 
Our aim for the conference is to bring together leading authorities on the subject and interested parties alike, and we are thrilled that six academics are joining us on the day to give papers on a range of relevant subjects, and hold a Q&A session. Ticket prices begin at £15, and include full day admission plus a buffet lunch, and are available from Strode Theatre ( https://www.strodetheatre.org.uk/whats-on/view/crusadecon-24-in-partnership-with-strode-college/ ).
 
There is also a website for the conference www.crusadecon.co.uk and pages on Facebook and Twitter/X where updates will be posted (both @CrusadeCon).
