The Tolkien Society’s AGM and Springmoot 2015 will be held on the weekend of 10-12 April at the Norfolk Arms Hotel in Arundel. The guest speaker at the Annual Dinner will be Leslie Megahey, BBC producer of the documentary Tolkien in Oxford.

About the Weekend

The AGM itself only takes up a few hours of the Saturday afternoon but, as our annual “Springmoot”, it will be a weekend event for members beginning with an Innmoot (eating, drinking and chatting) on the Friday evening, followed by a wander around Arundel on the Saturday morning. On the Saturday evening there is our Annual Dinner followed by the talk from our guest speaker. Sunday provides a further opportunity to explore the town.

This year the Annual Dinner will be proceeded by a Champagne Reception with our guest speaker, Leslie Megahey. For those who don’t drink alcohol there will the (cheaper) option of orange juice. All profits will be donated to the Tolkien Society to fund TS projects at the Trustees’ discretion.

Tolkien Society Awards

The AGM and Springmoot is also the weekend on which the winners of the Tolkien Society Awards are announced. Keep an eye on the website for more details on how to submit nominations for the different categories.
