Sorry to hear that, Graham,
I'd be interested to see what you chaps are doing. If you do manage to come along on your own, we will probably be able to induct you into a unit which is taking part. I've said this before; we expect to have spare kit.
It would be helpful if people who want to come, but have no kit, or need some specific item, could register their interest and tell me exactly what they need. For those of you who have the money, I hope to have enough traders at the event for you to equip yourselves from top to toe, cabo a rabo, cap a pie. So please state whether you want to borrow or buy.
There is time, between now and the proposed date, for people to make a Greek aspis and linothorax, for example. Helmets are beyond my skill, and many of you may feel the same, but there are plenty of those about. Deepeeka's so-called Italo-Corinthian is good, and not too expensive, if you shop around. We will accept brass helmets, cuirasses and greaves - that's what we've got.
