Tolkien Moot VII - 2011 now over. Onward to Tolkien Moot VIII April 20-22 2012
Tolkien Moot VII now finished. It was a blast...
Tolkien VIII - Day 2 completed, day 3 on the way.
Well, Saturday is now past, and we had a blast! Many folks dressed up in garb/costume. Hawke gave his speech on Tolkien & Trees, and we watched the first halves of the fan films "Born of Hope" (about Aragorn's parents), and "The Hunt for Gollum", and snippets from a BBC documentary filmed in Tolkien's last years, that was very fun to see J.R.R. Tolkien himself in action, chatting away, wandering through Ocford, enjoying fireworks, drinking (at a pub?), smoking his pipe, and much more.
Tolkien Moot VII day 1 completed, day 2 on the way.
Well, day 1 of Tolkien Moot VII 2011 is now finished. Many thanks to everyone who helped make it possible once again. Tomorrow is the busiest and longest day of the event. There will be a lot more people in garb/costume, the guest speaker segment on Tolkien and Trees, and the Fan Films viewing and discussion. And of course 3 more game sessions for 9 more hours of Role Playing Gaming in J.R.R. Tolkien Middle-earth. This year's campaign...
Adult Game Tables at maximum capacity, but waitlist available.
The gaming tables for Adults are now at full capacity. You can still RSVP, but you will be on the wait list. This means you can still show up, and if someone no-shows (usually between 1-3 end up not making it the last minute), you can have their seat. But if everyone who has sent an RSVP shows, you can participate at other game tables (board games, video games, wargames, etc.), but we can not assure you that you will be able to participate at one of the RPG game tables. We still have a few seats left at the youth RPG tables. We still have a few seats left for other activities, and audience general seating as well. Hope to see you at Tolkien Moot VII. If you decide not to make it, you can watch and listen on line.

IMPORTANT: TolkienMoot 2011 schedule moving to July - Hurry, vote which weekend preferred.
We were reminded that the last weekend of June is the same weekend as Spokane's Hoop fest, which causes the whole city to be shut down for the weekend, so we have to move the event to a different weekend. We are think around the 3 weekend or so of July. A poll is up to vote for the weekend you would prefer. Hurry, we need to lock down the new schedule ASAP.
