[Regia-NA] joining Regia and trip to UK

[Hrolf Douglasson]

Karen
Where are you flying to?
we have a nice little event at the end of july (27/28 ) just south of
liverpool and 1 hour from Manchester International airport.
We are close to chester as well.
Its a 902 date line but there is also a good material shop close by.
you would be more than welcome. and we are used to looking after new
members.
Basic saxon kit is what is advised over here as it will cover you for all
our shows and shouldn't cost too much and is simple to make.
regards
vara
