Tolkien Events 2014
As in 2013, there doesn't seem to be a general thread for this, so I've set it up.
I'll probably be going to the Oxonmoot in September, it being a day longer this year. Is anyone else thinking of going? |

Yes, I'm thinking of popping down to the moot. Will have to think of a show stopping costume, though.

It's not easy for me to get away from home now, but I do have hopes of being able to come to Oxonmoot in September! I'd love to see all of the regulars again, and it would be marvelous if other Downers could join us for the first time.
As for costume, I will certainly think of something - it may not be a funny parody though. After a few years of being silly I find myself wanting just a pretty dress!

I'm hoping to attend, but no guarantees yet. Have an idea for a costume but nothing super.

I wish I could come, but that's just IMPOSSIBLE.

I didn't get both DTG lighters last time, so I have to go this year. It would be nice to form a Downs quiz team this time if anybody fancies it.

Hi everyone,
it has been a very long time since I logged into BDs - nearly a year. However, having bought my tickets I logged to to see who else will be coming to Oxonmoot. Good to see some of the BDers we met last time will be there. This will be my second time at Oxonmoot, and this time I'll be coming with both daughters. So two more young ladies to play table football and dress up on Saturday night. Now it is my second time I know to get planning on a costume! best wishes Bungo |

Hi Aganzir,
When I mentioned having a beard to my youngest daughter she grinned like a cheshire cat - so that would be a big yes! She cannot think of anything better than being a dwarf. You met her last year when she came as 'Young Arwen'. My elder daughter has not been to Oxonmoot before and she is keen to come as one of the elder race. So the question of a beard led to a wrinkled nose and the kind of disdain one might expect of the fairer folk. However, I am sure she will be equally keen to play table football! Great to hear from you, Bungo and daughters |

I'm looking forward to seeing you three, Bungo, and your costumes as well.
