1 August is the festival of Lughnasadh/Lammas so expect plenty of druids to be in the southern inner circle from 13:30ish. I don't know if there will be Lammas Games this year but they are generally held in the north circle area. The summer festivals also often have handfastings at the ring stone. All in all expect the car park to be busy that day.

Be good to see you on the 1st August again Pilgrim - and anyone else who can make it!

There's a bit more info on this year's Megameet here http://heritageaction.wordpress.com/ and here http://aveburymatters.blogspot.com/

Basically (for those haven't been before) it's an opportunity to see friends again, and meet people you may only have chatted to on the forums. Also a good opportunity to catch up on the latest megalithic news and share a drink and a snack together. In the past people have either brought something to eat and drink or have got something at the Red Lion. We've also exchanged books, CDs etc, brought along photos of recent fieldtrips (looking forward to hearing about Carnac, Goff and the Northern Meet, Scubi) and have sometimes driven or walked out to nearby places of interest.

Think we may have left it too late to get t-shirts printed this year (pity because previous Megameet t-shirts are now collectors items ;-) If you feel like printing your own though please go ahead. It's all very informal, so if you're free on Saturday, 1 August we'll see you either in the south-east quadrant of the circle or in the large front room of the Red Lion if the weather's poor.
