"I've just got back from a trip to Oxford. How about Oxford in 2013! Pubs, bookshops, lecture rooms, museums and good accomodation."
I think this is s brilliant suggestion.
I've got some good connections here with my old college Trinity and the Classics/ late Antiquity faculty (and may even- possibly- be studying there again in 2013).
For example, I can organise rooms in an Oxford college (cheaper and more fun than B&Bs) if the conference were out of term time, plus access to lecture rooms. And the Ashmolean is one of the great clasical museums. And great pubs. Plus easy to get to from continental Europe, whether by air, train, car or chariot. And central for English RAT people.
I'd be happy to do some organising as well. And if there are any issues with the other areas, happy to have this as a fallback for 2012?
