    I'm going to say provisionally yes to this, I'll be in the UK,
    If I can get a weekend pass, I'm there.
    If the thought of something makes me giggle for longer than 15 seconds, I am to assume that I am not allowed to do it.

    It would be great to see you there, and your good lady too perhaps?

    I'll provisionally say yes, but I might not be able to stay for full weekend.

    As this will be my first Dark Ages meet what will I need to bring/wear kit wise?

    Cheers Richard

    As much as I'd love to join in on this the wifes birthday is slap bang in the middle of that weekend.

    I don't think it would be appreciated if I were to go off and leave her to celebrate it alone

    Very interested. Perhaps a silly question, but how accessible is it via public transport?

    As to a basic CV: archaeology graduand with experience of blacksmithing, wattle + daub and similar skills. Don't mind sharing living space with others, can sleep on a clothesline. No 'reenactment' experience as such, but I reckon I can knock together a largely accurate costume in time.

    ETA: might be able to do some basic smithing demonstrations/workshops depending on what kit is available on site/I can bring with.

    Sounds good, check out the earlier threads mentioned in post 1 for ideas on kit.

    It's within walking distance of the park and ride system and I dare say we could arrange a pick up if needed.

    Yyyyeeeessss! Nothing booked for that weekend. I'm in. Even the wife entered it onto the calendar.

    Time to dig out the sewing machine again. Is it just me or do costumes shrink after you've worn them once.

    On a side note, Dharma and I do the same kind of things, is there anything in particular you'd like us to bring/ demonstrate ?

    Should be able to fit you in Andy.

    As for costume I may struggle there as we are bringing some friends too and have lent out a lot of our spare stuff.

    I'll bring what I have but I can't promise anything.
