We cordially invite you to attend Oxonmoot. This year, it will be held from 14th to 16th September at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford OX2 6QA, an Oxford college located in lovely grounds alongside the River Cherwell, a mile from the city centre. We extend a warm welcome in advance to all this year’s first-timers - what better setting in which to experience your first Oxonmoot? Booking are now closed, but you are welcome to come on the day and you can contact our bookings officer about it, if you wish. If you need any extra information or find any problems with your booking, you can contact Alison at bookings AT tolkiensociety DOT org. Below you will find some information about the event. If you are coming to Oxonmoot 2007 you will be able to book during the event for next year's Oxonmoot, which will occur in Christchurch College from the 25th September to 28th September 2008.
We are planning the usual Art Show, Sales Room, Hospitality Room, and Saturday’s full programme of daytime events culminating in the evening Party, with the customary Entertainments and Costume Masquerade (costume not compulsory!). On Sunday morning there is a brief remembrance ceremony (‘Enyalië’) at Professor Tolkien’s grave in Wolvercote Cemetery. Coaches to and from the cemetery are provided but only if you have booked this on your form.
Children are welcome at Oxonmoot. Children from 0-15 must be closely supervised and those of 16-17 years must have an adult who is responsible for them on site.
Registration Rates: Only day registrations are now possible. Ask our bookings officer about them at bookings AT tolkiensociety DOT org.
Food and accommodation were only available for booking till last 24th of August. Consult the restaurant guide for places to eat nearby.
We strive to make the event as accessible as possible within the limitations of an Oxford college. If you have a disability or mobility problems, please discuss your requirements with the Booking Officer.
We always need Stewards to help Oxonmoot run smoothly. Duties will not be long or hard and may well be at an event which you wish to attend anyway. Many first-timers find this is a good way of getting to know people. We also need people to help set up on Friday and pack up on Sunday, if you are arriving/leaving at compatible times. Please indicate your interest on your form, and the Stewarding Co-ordinator with get in touch with more information.
We also need volunteers to write a nice report for Amon Hen and for the website. The report doesn't have to be long. It's just a way of sharing your experience and encourage others like you to come and enjoy Oxonmoot next year. So, if you had a good time, please contact Meggy McMurry at events.page AT tolkiensociety DOT org and send her your report for the web, or contact Andrew Buttler at amonhen AT tolkiensociety DOT org if you just want it published in Amon Hen.
Specific enquiries about attendance should be directed to the Booking Officer at bookings AT tolkiensociety DOT org, while for general enquiries about Oxonmoot please contact Laura Marples at chairman AT tolkiensociety DOT org.
We look forward to welcoming you to Oxonmoot, and may a star shine on the hour of our meetings.
Laura Marples and Alison Davidson,
on behalf of The Oxonmoot Subcommittee
