Coronavirus Outbreak

​

Due to the coronavirus outbreak, YAYAS

sadly had to cancel the 2019-20 programme

of lectures and excursions.

We have now had a couple of online

council meetings, well attended by 

members who braved new technology to

ensure that YAYAS continues to be a valuable voice on all matters archaeological and architectural at a time when oversight is more important than ever. Rest assured, we continue to champion York's buildings and character at this time. 

YAYAS is currently in discussion with the Friends Meeting House and lecturers regarding the best and safest way to resume lectures for our members, with the added possibility of online lectures also floated. If any members would like to speak to us about their thoughts about lectures, please feel free to email us at or contact us via Facebook. Excursions are currently on pause but we have some very exciting trips in the pipeline, which will go ahead as soon as guidance suggests that these things can happen safely.
