Unfortunately, the Black Trowel Collective Microgrants is paused again due to the program losing its non-profit status in the US.

Microgrants Temporarily Paused
Unfortunately, the Black Trowel Collective Microgrants is paused again due to the program losing its non-profit status in the US. This status was required for maintaining our US PayPal Business account, which we use to accept, hold and disburse funds. Without it, we’re unable to manage the account or process any payments. We’re currently exploring how to get our non-profit status reinstated, but until that happens, we’re unable to accept new applications.

New report on how people engage with archaeology is out - Trowel and Error: A Public User Needs Survey. Lots to digest but key conclusions are: 1) archaeologists risk undervaluing and hiding ourselves, our practices and the role we play in society... www.archaeologyuk.org/our-work/tro...

BTW some of you may know this but others won't. If you're in a place that's free WiFi is _TheCloud then it will give you unlimited credits to the BNA.

Key places are Wetherspoons (which is cheap and quiet during the day) and Cafe Nero (who don't do booze and whose coffee is good)
