Re: The Megalithic Portal Live in the Derbyshire Peak District Sat/Sun 28/29th July (Score: 1)

Well the four of us are back in Surrey in one piece although all the stuff is still in a huge pile on the floor here! I think it got many stones people together for possibly the first time and was intensely valulable if knackering.
I'm struggling how to thank everyone individually but I think special mentions have to go to Juamei for carrying the huge projector screen from work on the train and getting it down to us in time for the start and of course to Guy and Miz for preparing and clearing up after the food which involves much hard graft. It was indeed a group effort and everyone contributed (and can continue to - please send in your photos, videos and other info)
I can't mention everyone but I was staggered at the speed at which the combined crowd sprang into action at the end of Sunday to stack the chairs and tables in what seemed about 5 minutes flat, and then to come and dismantle the marquee in similarly record time - and without breaking it which was something of a miracle. That made the rest of the clear up easy and was indeed a powerful moment. We have donated the marquee to Ian's Arbor Low archaeology project as it wouldn't go in the car and we won't be needing it again as I will be booking bigger venues in future!
Great weather other than a minor flood when the heavens opened right in the middle of Rose's talk about the importance of the water god(s) in people's lives. Don't ask me or Guy about the details yet as we missed most of the talks outside in the marquee but we will catch up on the videos as time allows. There was some very lively debate after some of them which I have hopefully captured and will bring to you over the coming weeks. And some things from Ian's Arbor Low talk at the end that we are sworn to secrecy about at the moment :)
Now enjoying watching back the many hours of Olympic cycle road races that we missed, around roads I know very well. I am going to try and capture the races going past the little Pyrford standing stone! Off to watch the time trials in Cobham on Wednesday if anyone is around then. Things may go quiet from me again for a while while we catch up and recover...
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road |
