New Members - Introduce Yourself Here - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Estelyn Telcontar · 09-26-2015, 02:31 AM

The first time I met Downers at a Tolkien Society event was at the big conference in 2005 in Birmingham ("The Ring Goes Ever On"). Incidentally, it took that trip across the water for me to actually meet members of the German Tolkien Society as well and to subsequently join it. Since then I've attended Oxonmoot a number of times, including the one in Christ Church.

At the moment circumstances are such that I can do very little travelling, alas, but in keeping with my nick I do hold on to hope that there will be opportunity for many meetings in the future! (I already have some fabrics for costumes that need to be made and shown...

)

Welcome to the Downs, KarlPeredhel!

I was one of those present at Oxonmoot 2015, who helped to draw your attention...

I hope that this is the place where you introduce yourself! Hello, I'm TilloW. I have read (most of) the books and seen the movies so somebody pointed out to me that this would be a good place to learn even more about the world of Tolkien.

Welcome to the Downs, TilloW!

Please don't hesitate to ask questions of me and your other fellow members.

Seconded! Welcome aboard, TilloW! Lots of discussions here about both books and movies, and other stuff as well!

Great, thanks Galadriel and Farimir Jones!

Another somewhat belated Welcome to the Downs, TilloW! Enjoy being dead! This place is not as populated these days as it used to be (and some who haunt it are not as vociferous, mea culpa), but you'll be hard pressed to find a nicer bunch of Tolkien nerds anywhere. Or a nicer bunch of people.
