Not yet, but as we'll be arriving at York train station at lunchtime, there should still be plenty of buses. It should be easy enough to find which service passes the museum.
Eric
Linz or Eric, let me know if you need a lift, I think I can find my way to the station... I usually get lost going home 
I have a Corsa 1L but I'm sure we can wrangle stuff in.

That's good of you. Maybe a few of us could exchange mobile numbers nearer the time by PM, then if anyone has problems or gets stuck, they could ring round. That way there'll be somebody who can help.

Im getting worried about getting my costume done, I was only keeping it simple - tunic and apron. I decided Id be some lower class wench with no jewelry, hey somebody had to be! Actually I really wanted to tie my legs off at the knees and sit in the mud begging. My sister does theatrical make up and I could have been a lepper!! But never mind, Ill keep it simple.
Im having trouble getting the wool cloth in, I dont have time to make a phone call in work hours and Mr the Bolt hasnt got back to me yet via email. Does anybody have wool cloth i can buy?

I get my wool from these people. They started out as a woolen mill in flintshire where they did a massive range of tweeds. They expanded quite a bit, and their wool range is becoming very reduced in my local shop as it is being replaced with asiatic dress fabrics.
I still have one underdress two hangeroks and four pairs of shoes to finish. I sew quite fast so I think I pacing myself OK. I have some bits of LARP kit to authentic up a bit as well.

Phone the guys in oldham in my post above, the stuff round my neck is from there, ask them what have they got lying around
Linz i have some of that stuff that my tunic is made from if you want some, it looks like linnen but its pollyester really its all i had to work with but dont tell anybody lol,
If you don't tell I wont!
That would really be great if you could Andy, I had been looking for wool blankets to cut up but they seem to be as rare as hens teeth now. Do you think that cut into a tunic and some kind of wool shawl and apron would be sufficient?
Im aiming for something like this

I probably know less than you linz, its all new to me also, i could get you a long plain dress like that knocked up next week if you want, but if you want to make it your self thats fine also, pm some details and i will get it sorted
Looking good, people
I'm away this weekend but if you can wait until I get a chance early next week I can have a rake through the fabric mountain that is my spare bedroom and see what's available.
I know I can lend you wool shawls/ cloaks that will do.............would suit a child too come to think of it if Xylaria is needing for her kids.
I've got strings of glass beads and headscarves that I use for schools that I can bring down as well to add to the outfits.
cheers,
M
