Ok...<br>
<br>
To cut a long story short, I've called Archeon about their plans for next season.<br>
According to them, there's a Late Medieval group booked for the Easter 2004 weekend. The only free weekend would be that of april 24/25.<br>
<br>
Dan, all this was told me by Hans Siebelink, their Event Coordinator.<br>
<br>
The message he sent to Alain is explained by their wish to precede the Roman Days (from Augustus 5th onwards) with a 'Migration Week' (July 30 to August 4). This has to do with budget as well. I've explained to them that most groups are booked solid for that part of the season (their alternative was a week(end) <em>after</em> the Roman Days), and that it would be very hard if not impossible to get any large group of re-enactors prepared to go to Archeon.<br>
<br>
Of course, maybe those meaning to attend the Stoneleigh Late Roman weekend are interested in going to Archeon the week before?<br>
<br>
So that's how things seem to be at the moment.<br>
