She almost didn't though folks, so let that be a warning that maybe we all ought to invent a secret Barrow-downs hand signal of greeting like the Masonic handshake.

Anyway, Mithalwen's great and we got talking and laughing away right from the start, and we'd like to meet her again as soon as possible!

There are plans afoot to arrange a Yulemoot sometime in December, somewhere near Sheffield or Barnsley. This is being arranged independently by some of the Tolkien Society members. They are trying to book an hotel for about 70, so if you are interested watch this space, the Oxonmoot 2006 thread or PM me, I will try to keep you informed.

A secret handshake is one thing ... I could cope with that .... just not compulsory footwigs

What about name tags? Or custom Barrow-downs T-shirts with screen names and user numbers on the back?

narfforc · 09-19-2006, 11:16 AM

That is a brilliant idea, I have a multitude of t-shirts with many Tolkinesque quotations written on them, all you have to do is find a suitable outlet, I get mine from www.air-brushed.com.

I suppose we could make do with always wearing fluffy slippers to emulate excessive foot hair - sounds nice and comfy so I wouldn't be averse to it.

I know about the idea for a TS Springmoot in Leeds, but Sheffield or Barnsley would be much better owing to the fact that Leeds is a dump and also has no pubs. Barnsley has loads of pubs but no bookshops (I can vouch for that I've just been there today), whereas Sheffield has seen many of its pubs turned into cruddy bars but has a few bookshops - and the best real ale pub in the city is oooh, 5 mins from my house (but 20 mins minimum uphill returning

). Tha'll 'ave t'call everywun thee and thar though....

I might jump ship and move to Britain next year. Canada is also a distinct possibility. Ya'll know what that means, don't you?

There will be no excuse not to meet me.
