Ravenna Yule Events  Contributed by Aelfwine Scylding The Middangeard neighbourhood of Ravenna hosted part of this year's Yule celebrations, in the spirit of a closer collaboration between Germanics and Romans. We had the inauguration of Senex Caecilius' Roman Poetry Quiz at the Thermae, a poetry pageant at the Palace and a little celebration at the Circus.

Unst has the greatest density of surviving of Viking farms anywhere, and perhaps an excavation will take place at a preferred site of Hamar this summer.
