Now that the hysteria surrounding the mention of Terry has died down and any implied delusions made by others have been officially dismissed, I shall add to my previous post.

The NT flyer, Avebury Events - 2009, under the Summer talks, walks and workshops says.....

Festival of British Archaeology - July 18th - August 2nd

Meet the experts Sundays with our curator and our archaeologist. Taster tours around the Stone Circle Afternoon Rambles through the Avebury landscape with our Archaeologists or our Museum Curator.
Let the children discover their inner archaeologist with our mini-digs and other family activities.
Please telephone 01672 539 250 for more details.

Amen to all that.

The PDF file makes interesting reading in the wider context, Avebury has a singularity that makes it rather contentious and the National Trust seems to be handling a rather difficult job very well in trying to serve all members of the community......

Well, I don't know about hysteria, but your oridginal post did prompt some lively discussion. And discussion/debate is what this site is all about..

So, thanks for that Chance.

Nice one..

It *was* quite hysterical, wasn't it? ;)

Anyway. All's well that ends well. Come say "Hi" on the day, won't you, Chance? :)

So you care to explain Why you wrote this chance?

"TMA members are welcome to join the temporary camp on condition that they participate in at least one of the pagan ceremonies and/or the Lammas games. This is a stipulation made by the NT for allowing the pagan community to use the car park. Please respect this."
