Glad you made it home okay, Mummius! I had a 22 hour day getting from Lorrach back to Wales with the main troop, and finally got back to my posting up on the Wall at 3pm on Thursday.
It was certainly worthwhile to go without all that sleep in order to return to the place where it all began…
I think we also made history in a small way by combining members of two legions, XX and VIII for the benefit of the spectacle, without getting hung up with all the “equal recognition” issues which have always blighted reenactment in general. Although we all get a buzz out of looking “cool”, I hope that everyone can keep some humility and make it possibly for us to do this again. There have been too many groups which in growing in stature have succumbed to their own egos and suffered in everyone’s eyes as a result. It’s better to honour the founders of our civilization by portraying excellence and letting the performance speak for itself. Having said that… what a performance… I’m proud to have served with you all, comilitones!

It really was a pleasure to meet you again under the same standard making everyone else quiet and astonished when they were watching us.
I agree and subscribe what Robin wrote.
Thanks again for the good time we shared.

Hi there, I am getting a large number of students that can’t access the internet. When they log on and open IE they don’t get the default web page or a log in screen. It appears to be random, I have tried setting up new user accounts but this also appeasrs to be hit and miss on whether they get access.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Alan
