| Date: | January 3rd, 2021 |
|---|---|
| Time: | 15.00 /servertime (8PM GMT) |
| Location: | Outside the Bird and Baby Inn, Michel Delving, the Shire |
Event details:
The Writing Club cordially invite you to celebrate the Twelfthty-nineth (129th) birthday of one of their esteemed members, Ronald Dwale. Unfortunately Ronald is off on his travels somewhere and won’t be able to join us, but please make your way to the Bird and Baby Inn, Michel Delving, the Shire before 15:00 to raise a toast to his name and later we’ll set off some fireworks too! It should be said the wandering wizard Gandalf may not be available to attend either. Fireworks, pipeweed and drinks can be provided! The Writing Club have employed another wanderer, the elf Ranatuor, as party planner, so please relate any inquiries to him.
-- Yours, the Writing Club
Jack Lewisdown, Owen Farfield, Carlo Williams, Ronald Dwale and the Rabbit
This is a RP-lite social event, though RP is welcome, of course! Just please be aware people joining in will be coming to celebrate JRR Tolkien, not his LOTRO equivalent, and the focus is as a social event inclusive of all.
After the main event is complete and the smoke from the fireworks has cleared, Ranatuor may well go off in search of Ronald Dwale himself, to congratulate the Professor “in person.” You are most welcome to join him!
We are following the Tolkien Society guidelines on this toast, details are here: https://www.tolkiensociety.org/events/tolkien-birthday-toast-2021/

We’ve had a fantastic turnout over the years. in 2017, the year of LOTRO’s 10th Anniversary, we had an extra special guest, SSG Community Manager Cordovan, who streamed the event live via the LOTRO Twitch feed! You can see some of that broadcast here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20Ffj1K7zXU
