We received an email from Netherlands

Dear friends,
Next year it will be 40 years since Tolkien Society Unquendor was founded. A milestone we will celebrate at our eighth so-called Lustrum Feast, an event which we organize every five years. This extra festive event will take place from 25-27 June 2021. The venue will be Castle De Berckt near Baarloo, situated in a beautiful area in the province of Limburg, The Netherlands.
 
It would be marvelous if we could welcome as many members as possible from your society, smial or other organization, too. Therefore we kindly ask you to spread the attached flyer and poster, or the relevant information, among your members and to anyone else you know who is enthusiastic about Tolkien and his work.
 
In the flyer you can read more about the event, the venue and the programme. Although we are still working very hard on the details, we are very happy to announce that our guest of honour will be the renowned Tolkien scholar Dimitra Fimi, author of Tolkien, race and cultural history: from fairies to Hobbits.
 
If you’d like to be kept informed as things progress and want to know when and how to register, you can subscribe to our free Lustrum newsletters by sending an e-mail to: lustrum@unquendor.nl. For more information you can also check the website of Unquendor from time to time.
 
We hope to meet you in June 2021.

Síce to nie je novinka v kine, ale Tolkien (2019) už vyšiel na BR a DVD https://www.gorila.sk/detail/633699/Tolkien

Ono je ich uz 7, ale, snad je to konecne uzavrete. Teda aspon Anton.

To ich je už toľko? Trochu sa v tom začínam strácať.

Kto ste skončili so šiestou knihou a kto so Šiestou hliadkou?

Prišiel nám mail. Nie úplne vyžiadaný, ale myslím, že to nieje spam.

I would like to ask your attention to the following. I'm a Dutch writer (7 books) who just published his first book in English. As I published the book myself, I will have to do the promotion myself. Maybe you can help me a bit, as I think you will like the story:
Four Inklings - Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams and Owen Barfield - go on a walking tour together during four days in May, 1938. They walk in the footsteps of the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge through the Quantock Hills in Somerset and into Exmoor. They walk and talk with rucksacks on their backs, rain or shine, up- and downhill, through forests and moorland, smoking their pipes and drinking their beer. Never missing a pub. Tolkien has the first chapters of 'The Next Hobbit' (later: Lord of the Rings) on his mind, C.S. Lewis is halfway his science fiction trilogy, Charles Williams works on a poem about the Arthurian Legends and Owen Barfield studies the concept of Metaphor. It's 1938 and dark shadows grow in the East. What do they talk about and what happens on the way? Based on biographies of The Inklings and the individual authors, their books, letters and diaries, this is an enchanting tale about the long-lasting friendship between the (sub)creators of modern myths and fantasy. You are witness to their conversations, you feel their fatigue when they reach a hilltop and you enjoy their humour and wit. It's almost as if you participate in their journey. And of course - in a way - you do. For as long as you read, the spell isn't broken and the magic is there for you to experience. May I invite you to a special walking tour? https://amzn.to/2EFFQIe

Oficiálna pozvánka

Chcel by som dosiahnuť niečo takéto - guľa na podstavci, v ktorom je spínač so silnou LEDkou a baterkami. Po zapnutí svetlo matne preniká skrz farbu, teoreticky by tam mohla ísť kvapka fosforeskujúcej farby, ktorá by po nabití istý čas svietila.
Uvidím, čo všetko sa mi podarí nájsť v obchodoch, zrejme najlepšie by boli na to akrylové farby.
