Welcome, TheOrcWithNoName - I like the nick!* If you're at home in Birmingham, did you come to the "Tolkien 2005" conference there? It was the most wonderful Tolkien event I've attended so far and launched my real life involvement with the German Tolkien Society as well as attendance at two Oxonmoots up to now.
*Great - now I'm humming "I've been to the desert..."

Unfortunately I missed the event much to my regret, although I was aware of a civic reception in the city in January of this year by the Lord Mayor at the Central Library. However, I did spend most of yesterday at the "Middle Earth Weekend 2009" just down the road at Sarehole Mill. It was very good and well attended, even though the weather was quite appalling for most of the day.
