You are cordially invited to celebrate the Twelfthty-ninth (129th) anniversary of Professor JRR Tolkien’s birthday at the Bird and Baby Inn, Michel Delving, the Shire for a toast on the hour of 8PM GMT (15:00 /servertime) on Sunday 3rd January 2021. We’ll do the toast at 8pm GMT, so please arrive a little before, if possible!

We’ll raise a glass or mug to the Professor and then set off some fireworks in true Shire style. The wandering wizard Gandalf may not be available to attend! Fireworks, pipeweed and drinks can be provided! All enquiries to Ranatuor (the Elders Kinship). This is a social event, RP and non-RP, Kin and non-Kin, everyone is invited.

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
