I'll look forward to it. We'll have to work out how we're all going to recognise each other.

If you're serious, that would provide a rallying point!

Well, if there's more than one female going to be there I may make a draco Smile

You'll have to be prepared to run across Russell Square with it to prove that it hisses in the appropriate fashion :-)

This event is not far off now, who is going?

I will be in Euston on the Sunday evening if anyone wants to meet up before the event.

Look for a short(ish) balding guy with a beard. Not wearing any form of armour, though!

I am planning to also be there with a pal of mine. If there is any plan of meeting up before or after the event for a drink or something, I would be delighted to come.

I shall be going down on the train that morning, so no chance of meeting on the Sunday evening, I'm afraid. Graham knows me but, for those who do not, I am grey-haired, have gold-rimmed glasses and will most probably be wearing a khaki gilet. I may also wear the ring-buckled belt that I reserve for Roman-themed occasions.

Incidentally, I have received a message from the Hellenic and Roman Societies that an exhibition of some of Peter Connolly's paintings under the title of Peter Connolly's Art of War is being held in the Combined Classics Library in the Senate House until the end of the month and that those attending this event will have the opportunity of seeing it.

I'm hoping to attend, although I'll have to miss the morning session and arrive about midday.
