We have been pursuaded to include the general location of events. We hope this will be of help in planning your attendance at dromena, and will not bring us any unwanted attention from those whose only purpose would be disruption.
We here offer many, many thanks to Maureen Reddington-Wilde and Craig Counterman whose Olympiad Calendar is of constant and enormous help. That most excellent Olympiad Calendar can be accessed on the Net at

When you get there, click on the year icon to go to the detailed monthly calendar. The calendar does a wonderful job of listing traditional festivals and the dates on which, in Ancient Times, they were traditionally held.
It is worth noting that the Ancients had few qualms about moving some of the dates around to fit circumstance when need arose, so we are on solid ground in trying to fit our festivals somewhere near the proper dates.
Big houses or buildings for overnight events are also always in short supply. If you think you might be able to help, please communicate with us!
