I'm much looking forward to giving a talk, "Chess as Cross-Cultural Encounter in the Libro de axedrez (1283)" at the Medieval Encounters Seminar at Cambridge next week! ---> 1 May, Wednesday, 1-2pm, Ramsden Room @Catz_Cambridge@Cambridge_Uni. All are welcome!
May Day give-away! We've dug out a book from 1774, precisely a quarter-millennium ago: it's the triumvirate of love poets, Catullus, Tibullus & Propertius (+bonus Sulpicia!). Just RT this message, follow our account, and we'll draw out a winner at midday on May Day (1st) Gd luck!
Following on from our very well-received storytelling events in January, the President of the Sheffield and District branch of the Classical Association, John Drinkwater, has been kind enough to offer some coin handling sessions to local schools and U3A groups in recent weeks.
"Pedro is the new Jason, the ship that takes him to America a new Argo, and the whole story, another Iter Argonauticum. It is the tale of a young man's journey to a degree of self-awareness through the very harsh reality of 17th-century South America."

There was only one school who knew all the words and rocked out to @MrMCGrammar last night in Birmingham @YVconcerts That’s the power of a brilliant visitor to school. Our children were so inspired.
Wowee, @YVconcerts rehearsals are blowing us away. The children are singing their hearts out and as for @MrMCGrammar it is good to see our friend again!
We are very grateful to Prof. Patrick Finglass of @Bristol_CLAH for joining us at @DartfordGS yesterday. His words of wisdom for our aspiring Hellenists in the afternoon and his lecture on Sappho in the evening were both superb.
