We are holding our Saturnalia celebrations on Thursday 20th December. Comprising a torchlit procession, traditional ceremonies and a knockout party to follow.
I extend an open invitation to any groups or individuals who would like to participate (drop me a PM).
I'll put up more info as we draw closer and links to follow.

Excellent! Like the "Mille Persos, Mille Germanos" chant- seems like its catching on from our lot...
And a time travelling Late Roman too with a draco. Looked like a great event all round- well done, guys!

Caballo yes we have the RMRS to thank for introducing us to 'cras amat', all those years of working together is rubbing off. :lol:
Relatively few soldiers!! XX VV turned out 16 (inc empereor and tribune), VII fielded 5 and IX 4 that's 25 slodiers :!: I'll take it as a compliment that it sounded like an entire cohort :!: :lol: :lol:

Well i tend to take the space of two people so when were at Chester (please God) thats two more people
"The Kaiser knows the Munsters,
by the Shamrock on their caps,
And the famous Bengal Tiger, ever ready for a scrap,
And all his big battalions, Prussian Guards and grenadiers,
Fear to face the flashing bayonets of the Munster Fusiliers."
