WotWotius 1 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P.Clodius 0 Report post 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WotWotius 1 Report post Posted July 26, 2006 Yeah, the fortress under Yorkminster is quite nice: if I rember correctly, it contains two busts of Vespasian. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gaius Paulinus Maximus 2 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WotWotius 1 Report post 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). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pertinax 3 Report post 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Antiochus of Seleucia 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pertinax 3 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
