      Dermot,

      That's a Celtic re-enactment group (and all those "painted" or so to say "picted" - i.e. "Picts"). Note that it's only after the Romanization (and later the Germanic expansion) that "pushed" the Celts to the edges of the continent and at that time, my area was also populated by Celtic tribes.

      So there were also Druids here. 😉
      (Although I don't exactly know what they used to play here).

      Celts moved in to this area some time in the 6-5th century BC and became "Romanized" only by some time of the 2nd-3rd century AD. That's almost a millennium of Celtic culture here.

      Gai...

        Is there evidence of a hurling type game being played in your region at that time? It is a prehistoric game with legends from that era. The first recorded reference to hurling dates to the Battle of Moytura, near Cong in County Mayo (in the West of Ireland) in 1272 BC between the native Fir Bolg and the invading Tuatha De Danann. Rather than battle they decided on a game of hurling (probably had the same death toll!!)
        Would be very interesting if there was a connection across Europe.

          I have just re-watched that part and he actually mentioned that they here demonstrated an Irish game so not anything based on historic evidence from the era.

          The Roman name of the place - Lugio - is also of Celtic origin however and probably refers back to a Celtic god (therefore it was changed in the Christian times but before the Romans left)

            I'd be happy to help you develop something you could deliver.

            that would be great but first off i was wondering how to approach the whole thing. should i just go talk the the head of the school?? you said your experience was one off. how did it happen? you approached them or they approach you?

              That's exactly what I did here. As he is a PE teacher originally, he had no clue what I was talking about so sent me to the computering teachers and we set up everything and at the beginning of the school year started to work with a couple of children (this is not what the video is about).

              Well, if you don't try, you will definitely not do it.

                        Off topic? I thought I invented off topic. No worries, I enjoy the diversions.

                        I think they may have had some ridiculous acceptance issues that have since been revised so the models would have be re-reviewed, but he's taken them down.

                        There is actually 3 Hull area GE models. The KC, linea's model and a model of the Humber Bridge...

                        John I think you are right on the acceptance issues, I will try reloading some from a couple of years ago, I'll mention it in this thread when I've done it and report back on how long, if at all, it takes. 2 years ago I rather naively launched into a big GE project, had to refund the client and that left me substantially out of pocket but that is a whole other story...

                        Xrok, got to dash off to work now but will send you a pm with some info later.
