The idea for the first Megameet was mooted on the Stones Mailing List about four years ago. The idea behind it was for people who were interested in megaliths to meet up somewhere convenient (somewhere that had a few facilities and a place to go if the weather was poor) and Avebury was the logical place. This year's Megameet was intentionally fixed to coincide with Lammas as we thought it a good idea to be there at the same time as other groups and people, whatever their beliefs or interests, in a shared spirit of respect for one of our most impressive ancient sites.
