International Tolkien Fellowship: List of Events.
A new year is here and it is time to list some of those outstanding events you should be looking for. This
list is a work in progress and I invite you to let me know about your Tolkien-related event in your country,
from your society, special interest group and/or other organisation so people out there know what is going
on! Please shoot me an email at marcel(at)thetolkienist(dot)com with [name of event], [date of event],
[location], [organiser], [URL] and a short summary on what to expect [5-6 lines will do] and I'll add it to
the list. Please feel free to use the commentaries' option below to let me know what you are doing to spread
the word on J.R.R. Tolkien's life and works.
This list will include for now:
