Now look what you two did!

Must join Imladris. . . . (The Danish Tolkien Society)

Everyone must join there national Tolkien Society, it is only there that you get to meet face to face others with the with the the same brain wave lengths, these get togethers are by on large great moments in ones life, so Esty please enjoy the German Society Moot, and Bjarne's Son don't hesitate in joining Imladris

That is not entirely true, I for one met Spawn and Lommy the other day. But you are right, I will join soon.

D'OH! I just asked this on the Tolkien 2005 thread. Here.

I just hope they serve Magners in th'Eagle (sorry, but the Eagle & Child of my youth was th'Eagle; this Bird and Baby business just will not catch on with me

). I must go in there before the pleasure of pub smoking is snatched away from us forever.

Lo! Here I was going to tell narfforc that I am planning ahead farther than him--looking ahead to a 2008 visit--and now he's gone and editted the 2007 invitation to read 2006.

Oh well. It's the thought that counts.

I'm tired of hearing all about the Eagle and Child. (But I have to admit that I laughed uproariously seeing the sign, thinking immediately of Gandalf and the eagles, or Frodo and Sam.) And we drank there, twice, Esty n me n Squatter. And had dinner at The Mitre. I want to hear about Tolkien's other favourite pub, the one across the street from the Eagle, the Lamb and something?

I'm expecting a full report from at least narf about any kind of brew it has.

My beau de jour called it something cruder .... but we preferred the (then) less "refurbished" Lamb and Flag across the road. When is the Oxenmoot? It isn't that fiendishly expensive thing is it?

Lalwendë · 07-12-2006, 02:50 PM

The middle of September. And no, it's dead cheap. It's about £100 for a room for two nights and about £30 to register. Though we might skip the Friday meal as that's a bit pricey! We'll have to go and find Mrs Miggins' Pie Shop or something.
