The Tolkien Soc website claims that booking is open for Oxonmoot but isn't showing the costs atm...

I guess I'm the only Downer who's a member of the German Tolkien Society, so I won't be meeting any of you there, sadly. However, there are so many wonderful people coming and interesting activities scheduled that I am very much looking forward to this (extended) weekend!

It was a fabulous weekend! Tolkien people are such a wonderful bunch, the programme was interesting, and we all had a really great time! For those of you who live in or near Germany, I can only recommend joining the DTG, or at least starting by visiting one of the local "Stammtische" (smials) in your area.
Now the next event is coming up. Who's coming to Oxonmoot this year? Hookbill has booked, so have I. If enough of us are interested and bring something appropriate, we could enter the costume competition as a group of "Wizards of Many Colours" - anyone want to join me? My new wizard costume might be just *slightly* non-canonical, but I did my best to fit the character into Tolkien's world.

But we don't want a gaggle of Gandalfs do we, we need another blue wizard and a brown one, a white and a grey.

Don't worry, Narffie, I won't come as a gaggle of Gandalfs, neither grey nor white. As a matter of fact, I won't come as a blue or brown wizard either. It is possible, you know, that there were wizards Tolkien forgot to mention in the books...
OK, we have you as blue, hopefully Hookbill as brown, me as .... - any other takers?
