docoflove1974 Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 York has a good selection of museums as well, one of which is actually in a pub That is a stroke of genius marketing...the wives are happy that they're going to a museum, and the husbands are happy that it's a pub! Everyone wins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WotWotius Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 (edited) York would be my first choice because its pretty close to home and has an excellent choice of public houses , secondly i'd go for chester, i think london is just too big and would turn out to be a very expensive trip Good , keep your choices coming in please. York has a good selection of museums as well, one of which is actually in a pub What could be more convenient. I think I've been there. Is it the one that contains hypocausts in it cellar? If memory serves me correctly, I do believe its opposite York Minster. Edited July 24, 2006 by WotWotius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.Clodius Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 York would be good, as a center of Roman power in the north it is appropriate. It would be nice to get some of the yanks to come too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to get some of the yanks to come too! The Museum of Yorkshire is said to be the best collection of Roman artefacts in Britain : http://www.unrv.com/forum/index.php?act=mo...=si&img=581 and the general ambience is pleasant: http://www.unrv.com/forum/index.php?act=mo...=si&img=272 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WotWotius Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Yeah, the fortress under Yorkminster is quite nice: if I rember correctly, it contains two busts of Vespasian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaius Paulinus Maximus Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 So I take it nobady wants to meet in Londinium anymore. I personally think London is just too big where as York has everything that we would require all within walking distance of each other making the whole thing easier to arrange, but i'm pretty easy so what ever the majority decides is good with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil25 Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Likewise, I'll go with the majority. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WotWotius Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 I suppose I should conform to peer pressure and go for York (hopefully my newfound job will pay for a train ticket). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pertinax Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I see a rough consensus is emerging, perhaps a one day "dry run " might now be useful to scout out the terrain, for a more prestigious pitching of tents and standards in the spring?

WotWotius Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Do I see a date emerging? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antiochus of Seleucia Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 *Sigh* I wanna come... but I fear a teenager landlocked in the northcentral United States won't make it. Perhaps there will be more get-togethers? I'll be 18 in two years, increasing my chances exponentially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pertinax Posted August 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Do I see a date emerging? For the "formal " meet I suggest late April , next year . For an informal get together I envisage early september. *Sigh* I wanna come... but I fear a teenager landlocked in the northcentral United States won't make it. Perhaps there will be more get-togethers? I'll be 18 in two years, increasing my chances exponentially. You are not alone ! I think we will get together, in the not too distant future-but Italy must be our goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antiochus of Seleucia Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Italy must be our goal. That would be awesome. I would never miss that. Better start saving up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WotWotius Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 So would everybody be in favour of meeting in late September/early October? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
