We are delighted you are both going to be attending our forthcoming course on Roman History. Emily (Pillinger) and Mary (Beard) are a first-rate line-up and we look forward to an informative and exciting weekend on all things Rome. We are offering a companion course on Ancient Greece in September which Emily is running alongside Tim Whitmarsh and Charlotte Higgins which might also be of interest?
Ah, already busy that weekend, but I would have loved to if I'd been free.
When I say 'busy', I'm going to a Nickelback concert in Zurich. You may all mock me now 
Is there a minimum age Patrick? My 17 yr old DD would love to attend as she's hoping to do Classics & adores MB.
Are there any places left?

Well, in theory, it is 18. How old will she be when the course takes place in October?
17yrs 9 months-but is hoping to study Classics with MB at Cambridge so it would be really interesting for her & give her something to talk about at interview.
She is a very mature 17 yr old & very quiet won't disrupt anything (she told me to say that!! )
I appreciate you have to have a cut offpoint.
