Programme of Lectures
We run a mixture of online and in-person lectures. The in-person lectures are held at the Sonning Common Village Hall (location map) at 7.30 pm (unless stated otherwise) and are open to all, although donations at the door are appreciated.
For the online meetings SOAG members will be sent an invitation to register for the meeting in an email and-or in SOAG Messenger, our newsletter. Non members who wish to attend should email events@soagarch.org.uk to receive registration details.

Summer visits
Visits are organized to places of archaeological and historical interest and are open to SOAG members and their guests. They are usually organised as private tours with the site experts as our guides. The tours are also social occasions for SOAGs often incorporating a pub lunch.
We also organise archaeology walks in South Oxfordshire for SOAG members.
Other Events
