Medieval Ceramics: Journal of the Medieval Ceramics Research Group, 36, 89-98
The history of the Medieval Pottery Research Group (MPRG) would not be complete if it were not for the involvement of the local research groups which either inspired or evolved from the main society. The local groups provide additional meetings to that of the annual conference and allow for the exchange of information at 'grass roots' and wider levels. This paper was inspired by Anna Slowikowski's active participation in the South-East Midlands Medieval Pottery Research group, which under her joint tenure with other organisers, insured that at least two meetings of this group happened each year. In this paper, the present regional organisers of the local groups were asked for a contribution concerning reminiscences of Anna's involvement or aspects of their involvement with regional groups and what these activities at a local level achieved.
