A History of Summermoots

Summermoot is the "unsung hero" of Tolkien Society events. It is small, doesn't occur every year and hasn't been recorded; which means that it is difficult to establish when it first took place. Consequently, the ones initially listed here are those that the author has attended, or, in the case of Ghent, knows people who did.
