Gaius Paulinus Maximus Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 I presume everyone is too commited to the Bank Holiday weekend ( already) to make the trek, to York, on monday or tuesday of that week ( just over a week hence)? A bit too late notice for me, i've already made plans involving all-day drinking on sunday so will be about as useless as a chocolate fireguard on monday :drunk: :beer: Late sept, early oct will be good though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WotWotius Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 I think that early October would be the best time for me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first date is a big as it's my birthday on the 27th so i will probably be busy that week-end The third date you suggested is the wife's birthday so again a So the only one i could possibly make would be March 31/1 April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pertinax Posted September 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Well, let us gather information and see who is "probable" and "possible" . I may lose one of those dates myself as I am determined to get to Pompeii in early spring. It strikes me as an additional posibility that we could check re-enactment events later in the year and possibly rendezvous at one such.Nobody need fear that these dates are cut in stone , nor that it will be the only attempt. Couldnt you drag the Wife along, its not a long trip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaius Paulinus Maximus Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Couldnt you drag the Wife along, its not a long trip? Haha not a chance in hell, i think she'd rather stick a fork in her eye than tag along on this, unless we were checking out all the clothes shops :frusty: Who knows Pertinax, by March next year i might have even figured out how to do the 'links' properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pertinax Posted September 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Oddly enough Domina Pertinax would probably tag along, her best quote as regards my love of all things Roman being one ive mentioned privately before " If I were an old ruin , you would probably pay more attention " . A dangerous quote. Also this invite extends to the re-established website of Augustus Caesar : http://www.hadrians-wall.info/ due to proximity of persons and interests.

DecimusCaesar Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 I wish I could come, but unfortunately, unless I learn how to drive in the next few weeks I won't be able to get up to York, which is a shame, as I would like to visit York one day even if this meeting was never organized as I have always wanted to visit the sites (both Roman and Viking). Oddly enough my sister was planning to go to York a few months ago, but she went to Warwick castle instead ( I haven't been). I wish you luck on your venture and i hope you have a fun time, If you have a chance to make it there! Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Augusta Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 (edited) If women are allowed, I'd love to come. Any of the three dates are fine for me. I can leave the teenagers at home and I'd even sacrifice Chelsea for Rome! ETA: I have just noticed that I have been manumitted! A thousand thanks Edited September 18, 2006 by The Augusta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A thousand thanks Certainly women may attend, obviously with a short note from their Paterfamilias saying that its appropriate for them to leave the Mansio with their heads covered in a modest fashion. Your Cyrenian porters must however wait outside Please do not go to the extravagance of sacrificing a whole football team to Magna Mater!
