Well, any larger concentration of 'Downers calls for a moot to be sure. Of course, couple of visits to here and there would be nice just by themselves, but if we can get several people to one place... After all, there hasn't been (on the European side at least) any proper bigger (or longer) moot for quite a while (but even shorter one would do, given that your times are off-peak for most of the classic summer holiday times).
Let's spread the call around... I'll try to bring this to the attention of more ![]()

That's true, though I do hope to stay in the EU for at least a while longer. I figured, if I'm gonna be in Europe anyways, I might as well make the most of it and use the summer as much as needed.

We should deaf-in-Italy plan something of the kind, preferably in springtime when it gets a little warmer - maybe a moot to commemorate the crowning of King Elessar and the marriage of Sam and Rosie (May 1st, that would be)? Or anything really.

Why thank'ee! I certainly hope to meet many Downers at some point next year. I will have no excuse at all not to pay a visit at least to those living on the island!

Yaaaaay!
Welcome to Europe! (This is my first post on the forum in a year. I'm embarrassing.) Eönwë mentioned this to Kath, Hookbill and me when we were in Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival this year, and we kind of started planning an Edinburghmoot (provided that there's accommodation). However, if you should feel like visiting Finland, we're more than happy to put you up and show you around! Also, can I just point out that Worldcon 2017 takes place in Helsinki in 9-13 August 2017? ![]()
