The first scholarship workshop will be held on Wednesday 12 June – more information in this will be provided to member schools soon.

Hi everyone,

In order to be able to access all parts of the website you must be a member of AGTA. Complete this electronic survey and pay the subscription fees 2013 MEMBERSHIP SUBSCRIPTION AGTA

Once subscriptions have been received (and the survey completed) you will receive notification from the AGTA website that you can now access all parts of the website and you will be able to contribute to all the geography discussions.

You will be given a password that has been randomly generated, use this to login the first time then we suggest that you change your password. We will NOT know what the randomly generated password is – good idea to choose something everyone in your department can access. The user name will be the name you have given in the survey.

So get those subscriptions in. 🙂

Mary and the committee…..

We hope that this new website will be a very useful site for you to use – with plenty of new ideas, activities, resources and links to all sorts of things geographical.

Happy teaching!

Mary Robinson (AGTA Chairperson)
