RAT York is over, sadly

[Gaius Julius Caesar]

I'd like to offer a great big thanks to John and Amy of Comitatus for their organising of the RAT Conference this year.

Seconded. All in all, an excellent experience.

And luckily, John and Amy hadn't booked the Kings Arms as the venue:

Phil, it was OK. They still had the lights shining and people in there late Saturday night when the water was roiling. Must have a good water coursing sealant!

Thanks very much to the organisers for getting us in last minute on a cancellation and to the speakers for a most interesting and informative morning of presentations. Well worth the journey and good to put names to a face or two!

And of course, Grahams new paintings looked interesting. especially the new ones of the Fort and interior scene!

Belatedly (driving back to London, watching the mighty Liverpool crush Chelsea, then cramming frantically for a job interview late this afternoon to remind myself what it is that I do after so long not working, then drinking wine after it...phew) I'll second Ben's thanks. Thanks for the privilege of hearing so much expert opinion. Very useful...*reaches for ideas notepad*...and thank you all.

"Belated" would be a euphemism since my travel to York and back to Berlin was really troublesome. But it was well worth it! I had the pleasure and honour meeting you all in real life, listening to some great presentations, and hopefully we see us again next year.
I must admit I was not sure if the RATC is worth the travel but I assure everyone it is.
... after all, where else can you meet both, Caesar and Xerxes :mrgreen:

Thank you all! Here are some of my impressions:







regards,

Just for Jasper and said with a Scottish accent!

Thanks to John and Amy for the organization. It was really worth coming and meeting all of you. I personally think that John and Amy set quite high standards for future conferences.

Eh? The Scots have taken York?

I cannot compare with the previous ones, but I agree with you on that point!

Oh the irony: the presentation about the pugio was cancelled :grin:
