RAT conference MAINZ 2008 / 2.0

[caiusbeerquitius]

So that work can be started, please vote if you intend to come, even if you don´t mind when it should be.
Vote will close in 20 days.

[Lucius Poblius]

I think the later in the year the better for most people - less chance of clashing with an event.

Don't get the apple pie reference :oops:

[Praefectusclassis]

I originally voted for another date, but on second thought, Oct31-Nov2 sounds good to me too.

[caiusbeerquitius]

14 Votes so far. Maybe everybody can quickly say if (s)he wants to come, so that we know with how many people we can reckon, and who they are.

Anyone doing lectures? And if, what would be your topic?

[Marcus Mummius]

I'll ask the people in my group if they want to come. It was nice last year. Perhaps this time I can bring even more people as our group has grown

[jvrjenivs]

I would like to join.

[Andrew Brozyna]

Perhaps we could have the conference mid-way between Europe and the US, so it's equally far for everyone to attend. How about the east coast of Greenland? :wink:

[jvrjenivs]

I thought there was already suggestions for a RAT conference in the US, but someone has to pick it up and organise.

[Medusa Gladiatrix]

I would like to come but due to changes in my life (planning to move to another place and of course the "job-hunt") I can't say anything definite at this moment.

If I make it then I will hold a lecture about "gladiators as soldiers". But all with very big IFs at the moment.

Hi,

I would like to come and maybe do a lecture on praetorians (inscription based).

[Praefectusclassis]

Based on the results, I'd say the weekend of October 31st-Nov2nd should be it, right?

[jvrjenivs]

yeah. I would second that.

[hansvl]

Well, november 1st is remembrance day for our beloved familymembers who have passed away and we tend to keep that day in honour. My brother died nine years ago and the whole family always comes together on that day. I think many other families do the same thing.

In my (personal) opinion this date could prevent people to come.

Hans

[Robert Vermaat]

Alas, I'm not going this time. Again.

[Kineas]

I'd like to know the 2009 date, so that I could try to come.
