I attended a German Tolkien Society seminar last weekend which featured several lectures by experts I'd already heard last year in Birmingham. I very much enjoyed it, especially as I'd already decided that the Oxford conference is not on my agenda this year. I asked the other participants, and the general consensus was: it's too expensive, and after Birmingham last year, we really don't need to go to something similar so soon. I wonder how well it will be attended...
