The video diary is here. (4m. 10s.)
On Thursday Will Griffiths and friends led 3 sessions on using IT in Latin teaching. There’s a glimpse of the course group photo, and a mention of the AGM, and of Dr Mark Bradley’s lecture on Colour and Meaning in Ancient Sculpture. There’s a bit of an explanation of the entertainment to be held on Friday evening.
