The German Tolkien Society's Tolkien Seminar takes place in Hannover this coming weekend. Registration is not necessary and there are no fees to pay; the only costs participants have are travel and accommodation. This year's theme is: "Violence, Conflict and War in Tolkien" - an interesting topic! For details please see the
programme. Lectures are partly in German, partly in English, with international speakers.
I will definitely be there, though I'm not actively involved this year. It would be fun to meet other European Downers at the event!
