To update everyone on the International dimension of Ancient Greek re-enactment, we are currently doing the following:-
Trying to persuade the authorities in Nashville, Tennessee, to let us stage a Festival there, in 2008, or later.
Negotiating with a Greek festival in Atlanta, Georgia, to provide Hoplites for them in October, 2008, with a view to doing this and Nashville on consecutive weekends.
Considering a meeting at Thermopylae on the 4th of August, 2008.
Preparing for a second Festival in Watford (the Athens of Hertfordshire) in 2009.
Clearly, we could be massively over-stretched in 2008, especially those of us who do other periods, but I think we have to keep all the irons in the fire until we know which one is going to work. Currently, Nashville is not looking promising. I recognise that most of us might have to make a hard decision between Georgia and Thermopylae, but I believe that thereare bound to be some people who could only do Georgia and others who could only do Thermopylae and I'd like to give both groups the chance.
All of this information can be followed on the International Festival forum at <http://greekfestival.proboards52.com>. Register there, if this is of interest to you.
