ABSTRACT
The Club was the brainchild of Kate Pretty, who with Mike Corbishley ran and developed it into a highly successful organisation. It was co-ordinated from Cambridge by Kate during the period 1972 until 1987, when the running of the club was taken over by the York Archaeological Trust. Since 1993 it has been run from the CBA, where the YAC co-ordinator and YAC assistant are employed to administer the organisation. Volunteers have always been the mainstay of the Club, and continue to form an essential part of its organisation and running. The YAC National Advisory Committee, consisting of branch representatives and a Chair, and the leaders and assistant leaders and helpers who help run the branches, are all volunteers and currently number in excess of two hundred adults. Without them, the club could not exist.
