Nijmegen uni auditorium, early November. And very much dependent on the permission of the uni MC.

If possible I would love to come to the RAT conference in november, Please keep me informed.
Good to hear about your PHD. I defended my MA ancient history thesis in Roman uniform once, flanked by two iron clad roman bodyguards. Great fun.

Re: RAT Conference Nijmegen 2007 - Praefectusclassis - 05-22-2007
Date: 9-11 November 2007
Location: Nijmegen, the Netherlands
Time to start planning in earnest. Is everyone still planning to come? Who wants to do a lecture? If so, what about?
We're trying to get a small meeting room in a location very close to the train station which should cost us no more than about 10 euros per person in total (assuming we'll be about 20). The Apollo hotel is closest. It's not the very cheapest however, but room sharing can keep cost down. Also, if we book pretty much the entire hotel at once, we could try to get a discount. So who is going to need a hotel room? I assume some of the Dutchies will go home every evening?
Finally, we're thinking about organizing a trip to the Haltern museum (about 120km from Nijmegen). It's kind of out of the way, but very much worth the trip and apparently has one of the travelling Pompeii exhibitions at that time. Because of the distance and time needed to travel, we would probably plan this trip for the Friday afternoon, so, another question: when will you guys arrive?
Re: RAT Conference Nijmegen 2007 - Robert Vermaat - 05-22-2007
Yes, I´m coming.
Yes, I would like to do a lecture / subject Plumbatae.
We still on for 9-11 November? And your Phd?
Re: RAT Conference Nijmegen 2007 - Praefectusclassis - 05-22-2007
Yes, dates are the same (post above updated).
My PhD exam may or may not be around that date. I can still try to aim for it, but it depends mostly on the University auditorium, which has its own agenda which cannot be influenced by lowly PhD candidates.

Monty Python's Army Protection Racket - wait until after John Cleese has announced the arrival of the Vercotti brothers.)
Re: RAT Conference Nijmegen 2007 - Medusa Gladiatrix - 05-23-2007
I'm planing to come too and also need a hotel room.
Lecture on something gladiatorial as posted earlier.
Re: RAT Conference Nijmegen 2007 - Jeroen Pelgrom - 05-24-2007
I will also be there. I don't need a room.
Re: RAT Conference Nijmegen 2007 - caiusbeerquitius - 05-24-2007
I´ll be there. I´ll need a room. I´ll hold a lecture. Don´t know on which topic yet.
Re: RAT Conference Nijmegen 2007 - Susanna - 05-31-2007
I´ll come and hold a lecture about military musical instruments concerning their found, replicas, use, sounds and signals.
I´ll need a room...anyone travelling from Nothern Germany?
Re: RAT Conference Nijmegen 2007 - Medusa Gladiatrix - 06-01-2007
Yep, me. If we travel by train I could check if you could travel with me from Hamburg for a low fare on tickets because I have a BahnCard 25. But it's too early to check on schedules and prices yet.
Re: RAT Conference Nijmegen 2007 - Crispvs - 06-01-2007
As long as I can get the time off to attend I will need a room too.

Re: RAT Conference Nijmegen 2007 - Lepidina - 06-08-2007
Oooh, tempting. Have to see how much flights are at that time of year and if I'm going to the dance conference in Canada instead.
