Hey Crispus/Graham,
is this Chester thing an RMRS event? I don't see it on the list on the website?

Hi Byron, the Chester event is listed on the RMRS website, it's on the 16/17th of June if that helps.

The RMRS event on the 16/17th June is at
Colchester according to their site. I had heard that the RMRS would be at Chester at the end of June but they do not appear to be aware of that! As it turns out I will be at Vindolanda that week-end so will miss out on the local event anyway.

To clarify,
The 'Chester Thing' is being held over the weekend of 30th June and 1st July (although some activities will commence on the afternoon of Friday 29th).
For RMRS peeps you have been engaged/invited although it doesn't show on your site yet. I forwarded full joining details to Ary earlier this week and expect she will forawrd them to you shortly. Out of interest RMRS will be on the Deans Field (Northeast corner of the original fortress).
Look forward to seeing you all there.
For anyone else, please come and see what's going on and get involved.

There is a similar a weapon that was one handed, but as far as I know the falx was a 2 handed weapon.

hock: ! In fact I can imagine how the Domitians and Trajans legionaries must have felt when confronted with weapons like these (btw, do you sleep at all, I mean how can you find all the time to produce all these wonderful items :wink: ...)
