We are very happy to announce the first major event organized by our young society.
On the weekend of 29-30 November, a Marathon reading of “Return of the King” will take place in the hospitable premices of “SoulTwinkles”, a small gaming and books haven, where also the Quenya is being tought. Each day, from 11.00 to 18.00, 10 voluntiers will interchange in reading from the Greek translation of the book. Certain important passages will also be heard in English, so that Tolkien’s wonderous cadences may be experienced. There will also be visual and audio support, such as a slide show of related fan art and Tolkien inspired music. To sustain both readers and listeners through the long hours, coffe/tea, refreshments and snacks will be offered. Everything free of charge!
If any of you happen to be in Athens during this time, you are most welcome to attend.
Best regards

Nadine writes: David Wenham picked up the Best Actor award tonight at the Inside Film (iF) awards for his role in Gettin’ Square. The film took in five awards in total on the night. The iF Awards are the newest out of the awards given out in the film industry, but since they were introduced they have been a good indicator of who will take out the AFI Awards. Check out the clip of David’s acceptance speech! [
If his heart is still into it, you can expect Christopher Lee to be signing his autobiography in Borders Bookstore on Oxford Street. Stop by and give him a cheer up!
