Longer Term Aims

Having successfully passed through our initial introduction to the 
general public and historical authorities, we now plan to consolidate and 
expand our national and local profile. Our strategic approach is 
Education, Entertainment and Employment. The first two will be linked to 
popular and academic publications, public appearances and media 
events. We have already established contact with Unitary Authorities to
 develop education packages in schools, local area tourist boards to 
include seasonal appearances, and we are currently developing a TV 
documentary. 


Education and Employment will be linked together in the development of 
a Roman Heritage Centre incorporating visitor / museum features, and
 civilian and military workshop facilities. We are seeking closer contact 
with both local and national Government and private business to make 
all this possible.
