The Classical Association, founded in 1903, aims ‘to promote the development and maintain the well-being of Classical studies’ and unite the interests of all who value the study of the languages, literature and civilisation of ancient Greece and Rome. Members have always come from all walks of life and past presidents have included a poet, a zoologist, a publisher and a singer as well as eminent academics and two prime ministers. It is now the largest Classical organisation in Great Britain with a worldwide membership and it is no surprise that today its activities are as diverse as its membership. Through the network of local branches, the CA supports Classics in local areas through school reading competitions, play readings and outings to places of Classical interest as well as providing conference bursaries and contributing to major academic projects. The CA also produces three academic journals a year, a biannual newsletter, which provides a forum for serious debate and some light-hearted fun, and an annual conference which provides an opportunity for professional academics and students alike to meet and swap ideas and partake in the occasional day out!
