Farewell and Hello

The World has turned.

We bid farewell to the old year and turn forward to the new with  a certain amount of fear and trepidation but also with elation, excitement, hope and anticipation of what this new and undiscovered future has to offer us.

We have had a busy 2010, culminating with the Winter Watch Parades (as the Skeletal Legion of the Dead) and our own Saturnalia, bringing the light and hope of better times to our Fortress home of Deva.

The New Year to come is sure to bring its own unique challenges.

For us this will mean  that once more we raise our game. The unique nature of what we are and the way we do what we do, means we must adapt and where required change and constantly improve.

There will be much to do. Some things will be quick, others will seem to take too long, but that is the nature of life and we must be patient.

Brothers this year has the oppertunities for us to once again  write ourselves into history. Our reputation is being reflected in the work that is being presented to us. Roman Tours Deva Victrix is now being nationally and internationally recognised and respected.

This year the Roman event in Chester is set to become one of the largest Roman Festivals on the International stage. Our Centurio faces months of work, sweat, angiety,disillusionment and  in some cases disappointment to make this come about. Our job is to push ourselves that one bit further, that extra effort that will make what we do shine, so he does not have to concern himself with the minutae of our day to day, so he can concentrate on this huge undertaking.

This starts now. Any issues with personal gear will need to be delt with long before our first event, if you need help ask.

Gladiators this is definately your year to shine for you commitment is essential.

The Season of War begins soon.

Prepare your equipment, your minds and your bodies.

Offer prayers, libation and inscence, to whichever Deity is yours, to grant us Strength, Honour,Fortitude, Fortune and Victory.

Listern for the sound of the Cornu, the call to arms to the Field of Mars.

I will see you there brothers. Our enemies will fall before us, as wheat before the scythe.
