>Please excuse cross-posting.
>I am sending this on behalf of the conference 
>organizers, Stephen Knight and Helen Phillips. I 
>have attended every one of these conferences 
>since the first one in 1999, and collectively 
>they have been among the best conferences I've 
>ever attended--small, attended by a mutually 
>helpful and engaging "band of merry men and 
>women," excellent accommodations, food, and 
>wonderful junkets to RH related local sights. 
>The scheduling intentionally avoids conflict 
>with and encourages piggybacking to other summer 
>conferences in England, such as the Christianity 
>and Culture Visual Conference in York which 
>immediately precedes it, and and then the Leeds 
>conference afterwards.  The site at which the 
>conference will be held this time looks 
>splendid. For an attachment containing a 
>registration form, and full travel information 
>about getting to the conference, contact one of 
>the organizers by email (included in the CFP 
>below). Note that papers on any aspects of Robin 
>Hood OR other outlaws or criminals in international culture are welcomed.
