Well that's me scuppered, wouldn't you know it, my TARDIS gave up the ghost just the other day. Now, if it had been 2009 I could probably have managed.
I'll need to check with the boss but hope I'll be able to make it.
I'll say yes for now. I've booked the Friday off, now I just need to sort out some kit.

I am more than happy to cook up a big fat scouse, if someone can bring the cauldron of plenty. I can make up onion free stock with herbs, and maybe get some wild roots veggies if not its turnips. PM any allergies or diet requirements.
Doh.... Well that's me for you. I have enough trouble working out which past millennium I'm working in without getting the right date in the future as well.
Hope you can make it.
Wouldn't be the first time I've had to check "which century are we in again."
Multi-period re-enactment, gotta love it.

Would it be good idea of the kit discussion was in a differant thread? this thread could get a bit cluttered other wise.
I am getting a little confused what plates and bowls should looked like? I have two cow horns and some pewter tankards.
I havn't got any wooden bowls. The various websites give very differant opinions on pottery. My local museums have primative glazed(?) pottery going back until romans but during the 10th centry, the fall of mercia meant the fine industrial process had been replaced with some really awful looking unglazed bowls. It was a good 200 years before glazed yellow and brown ware came back, yet I have seen this in reeactment pictures. I think I could do some samian replica bowls from polymer clay that would look like the local stuff from 6thC.
Am I thinking too much and being akward?

You can never think too much but you can worry too much.
I can take enough wooden bowls for anyone who needs them.
Pottery is a confusing jumble at this point in history but we should be alright with anything that "looks the part", remember, we do not need to be 100% accurate at this event, it's a try out, and between me and the site we should be OK for all the hard kit we need.
Bring whatever you have and we can sort stuff out when we are there.
Oh, by the way, there is usually a decent boot sale next door on Sunday morning.

I am not worried. I love getting lost in reseach. It was fancinating seeing early mercian pottery that was some of the finest in europe, being reduced to what looked like mudpies in the space of 200 years.
I am glad about the boot market, I was seriouslly thinking of putting bags stuffed with wool on everyones feet . Good for the mercian thrall look.

For that read "Car boot sale".
As mentioned, don't worry if you can't sort authentic shoes out, unobtrusive modern footware is acceptable this time round, especially as the village could be quite muddy in February.

Do cars need turn shoes then?:twak:
I have converted his LARP kit to look like a viking from hollywood..
I'd love to come!
The only problem is I have a metal nose stud that I can't take out (I'm susceptible to hermangiomas - where scar tissue keeps on growing, eventually slowing down but turning red and puffy) it that going to be too out of context?
Edit, I think I can find an 'invisible' nose stud, although it's classed as 'invisible' you might still be able to see it. Would that be ok?

Normally that sort of thing we would just cover with a plain piece of micropore or elastoplast, cut to fit, and then gently smudged with foundation makeup to blend in to the general skin tone.
The same thing applies to rings that won't come off that just scream 'not period'.
cheers,
Toddy
