Gillian Monahan from Tourism New Zealand writes: Tourism New Zealand, Trade New Zealand and the New Zealand High Commission are holding a champagne breakfast function on December 1st at The Lord of the Rings Exhibition in the London Science Museum.

The event is to celebrate the final instalment of The Lord of the Rings Motion Picture Trilogy as it has its world premiere in Wellington, New Zealand.

While the real party is in Wellington we can’t all be there so we’re having a little celebration in London for friends of New Zealand and a few Lord of the Rings fans.

The event will be from 7.30am – 9.30am on Monday December 1st. There’ll be a chance to look through the exhibition, enjoy a kiwi style champagne breakfast and delayed coverage of the parade through Wellington. We’ll even have a little goodie bag.

We’d like some of London’s biggest LOTR fans to join us, in costume, to celebrate. We have 50 places available.

I was wondering if you would be able to broadcast the invitation on the www.theonering.net website? Could the first 50 people who are interested, and can come in costume, please email bradleym@tnz.govt.nz to register.
