Looking for something to do in August?

If you are into Living History or the Middle Ages and you're looking for an event to go to in August, here's one that might be interesting to you: Medieval World Convention. It will take place in a lovely spot in Germany (which promises to be quite warm at that time of year) from August 10 to August 20.

One of my market-trading colleagues is in the team planning this, and they want to establish the convention as a place to meet other people from all over the world, and take part in all kinds of different lectures, presentations, and workshops. All this is bookable via an app - which is a nice mixture of the modern stuff to help learn things about the past... and quite geeky, too.

If you are interested, go ahead and register - the event will only take place if enough people register for a start. (The fee for participation will only be payable if that is the case, you lose no money if it doesn't work out.) Or if you know somebody who might be interested, do spread the word! Sadly, I won't be able to take part, as I'm already somewhere else during that time - but if the Convent works out, there will be a second one in the future...
