I am delighted to have been asked to be the Project Leader for this second Shared Learning Project at LAARC. I was a member of the volunteer team in 2007 working on the Limehouse dig and thoroughly enjoyed the 12 week project. I do not have an aracheological background, but do have enthusiasm for the Shared Learning Experience that the U3A runs throughout London and apart from LAARC last year, I have also been lucky enough to take part in projects at the British Museum and at the Museum in Docklands. Each SLP is very different, but I have found them very stimulating and great fun.
