evidence for presence (tourism and some trade, also items plundered from
Romans ) but not Romans in the sense of roads/towns/villas etc of the sort
that would facilitate trips to London now.......

Thanks to the Romans Chester and/or York is/are the centre of the road
network. To Brindley etc Birmingham for canals.
I thought that there was now evidence for some level of roman
occupation in Ireland?
Thank you

Anglo-centricity again!
Us poor folks in Ireland never had Romans.
Nor is London the centre of our universe.
Actually travelling to the big island talkes more than 2 days to
arrange for
just one person, which is why I never maange to go to meetings.....

Dear All
At the risk of stirring things up further, perhaps rather than moving
around
the country we should have every meeting at one location and organised
by
EH. Thanks to the Romans, London is the centre of the entire transport
network and relatively accessible from most parts of the country.

Dear all
As someone who also has to organise such meetings, I also frequently
hear
complaints about where they located. Maybe some of those complaining
about
various meetings not being near their patch should volunteer to host
them
themselves, thus guaranteeing no travel time at all! Having just done
some
myself I can say it only takes a couple days of organising!
I do agree with the idea of staggering the meetings, because at the
moment
HBSMR, Regional SMR and HER Forum are all falling in a 3 week period
for us
in the eastern region.
Best wishes
Sarah

This reply made my blood boil!! - welcome to the real world.
EVERY meeting I ever attend is at least one flight and 2 overnights.
Portsmouth to Cambridge it probably only two trains! The south coast
is not
the centre of the Universe or even the centre of Britain.

Dear Martin
Well from someone who did not attend the meeting, the only reason was
the
location. Its a long way from Plymouth to Cambridge , and it would
mean
staying somewhere overnight. The costs of this plus the train fare all
mounts up, and as our budget is very tight, we have to justify going
to
these meetings.
So if you decide to have one a bit closer sometime, I will be happy to
attend.
Glad it went well anyway.

Firstly I'd like to thank all those who turned up to the Forum Meeting
in
Cambridge on Monday and for making it such a interesting event. I'd
especially like to thank the Staff in in Cambridge for hosting the
meting
and all the speakers.
We are looking for a venue and topics for the next meeting if you have
any
suggestions please let me know.
We are interested to hear from those who chose not to attend this or
other
recent Forum meetings to find out why. Is it the programmes,
locations,
costs (remember the day is provided free) or some other meeting. In
these
fast changing times it is useful to get representatives of as many
HERs
together to here about the latest developments and share views and
experiences. We are therefore keen to encourage representatives of as
many
HERs as possible to attend each meeting. Any views on how we can
encourage
attendance are welcome.
Lastly, HER News, if anyone would like to contribute and article can
they
please get in touch to discuss. You have a bit longer than usual as It
will
be coming out as early as possible end Jan/Beginning of Feb as I will
be
away for most of January in New Zealand so won't be around to edit it.
However I would like to have a list of articles before Christmas.
Thanks
Martin
