RAT Conference 2013 - Location Discussion

[caiusbeerquitius]

After the conference is before the conference.

Regensburg
I suggest Regensburg and am willing to organize.

Short trips would / could be:
Künzing,
Straubing,





Alternatively I could organize a three to four day bus trip along the Raetian limes.

Adding to the list above:
We also could perhaps go to Weltenburg for a beer:

Alternative spot- Oxford ( I can try an organise college accomodation). Nearby museums- Ashmolean http://www.ashmolean.org/ and the mildly bonkers Pitt Rivers museum http://www.prm.ox.ac.uk/

I've got links with the Late Antiquity side and the Archaeology.

Nearby sites
-North Leigh Roman villa
-Dorchester on Thames (excavations this Summer)

Cheers

Well, why not Regensburg for 2013 and Oxford for 2014?

Sounds good!

I also have an idea for quite some time but didn't actually want post it before the current conference but anyhow, since this discussion started:

I suggest Bad Dürkheim and region including visit to the museum in Speyer. In Bad Dürkheim are several Roman places sucht as:

* Roman vineyard Ungstein:

* Roman quarry:

* Villa rustica Wachenheim
http://www.villa-rustica-wachenheim.de/

* Museum Haus Catoir
http://www.kreis-bad-duerkheim.de/wTouri...rkheim.php

* Historical Museum Speyer
http://www.museum.speyer.de/

If you guys vote for Bad Dürkheim I would do the organizing. Although I don't live in that region I had been there twice with my ex-boyfriend for vacation.

Alternatively I could organize a four-day bus trip along the Raetian limes. Nights at youth hostels. What do you think?

Sounds cool! I'm inn!

[Medusa Gladiatrix]

What do you guys think, esp. the admins/mods, if we make out of the several suggestions in this thread a poll so everyone could vote what they favor most? Is it possible to add a poll now?

Capri....

[jvrjenivs]

Capri....

Well, it seems that untill now every location we tried to have a conference, which hasn't a big local community of RAT-members didn't seem to work (Augst had to be cancelled and in Ljubljana only 3 RAT-members where present). So, I would better suggest we choose a location where we can be more sure about numbers to attend. (E.G. Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium or UK)

[Gaius Julius Caesar]

I was kidding....but it would be a handy place to dispose of the rowdy attendees....heh heh
I would love to visit any of the places mentioned already.
So much to see, so little time.
i think the poll is a good idea. Some great options mentioned. mile:

Oh that's very sad, only 3 members weree in Ljubljana... :-( I have personal reasons, why i can't go on every termin, i am sorry, too. Wish to go and to do more, but i can't do it.
