Welcome back to the Downs, narfforc!

It's good to hear from you again...

Hey, I several someones mentioned this forum at Oxonmoot, so here I am!
I first got into Tolkien with the LOTR films (I was 5 at the time) and since then seem to have "accidentally" read far too many books far too many times.

Hi Karl!

Welcome to the Downs! Reading far too many books far too many times is a noble pasttime.

Hi Karl, and welcome! I was at that room party, if that's where it was that you kept hearing about the Downs.

KarlPeredhel · 09-25-2015, 02:57 PM

The room party was just one of many occasions

Can I just mention that I'm really proud of my fellow Downers?

(I wasn't at Oxonmoot, but I'm really happy that the Downs had a strong enough representation to draw your attention!)

I wasn't at the room party, or you would surely have remembered, however welcome home.

Hurrah glad you joined! I was probably the most vocal about the Downs at Oxonmoot so good to see it wasn't for nothing.

Hope you'll enjoy your stay!

I've been attending Oxonmoots for some years now, and I think 2007 was the first one at which we were graced with shades from the Downs. I considered this visitation (and the subsequent ones - every year since, I think - were some of you at Christ Church?) such an excellent and happy phenomenon that I eventually became undead myself.
