The Vermont one is closer to me and is during my birthday but the Utah one would be great for a chance to meet Mormegil and Nimrodel!

Dealers' room? Is that gambling or extra high priced items?

I'm surprised to hear that there was a Tolkien event in Exeter last year, since I only live a few miles from Exeter these days and I heard nothing about it. Since there was a definite Christian element I'd expect to have heard something from my sister, who hears about religious events from the parish church grapevine, but no. It looks as though they relied on advertising to Tolkien groups, who are unlikely to respond in large numbers for the usual reasons.

The Sarehole weekend looks interesting, and Oxenmoot is achievable; such a shame that I can't put together a party.
