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.

Bob writes: This is quite unbelievable. A developer wants to build a subdivision of homes called “The Shire” that will run about $500,000 each. Read about it here; The article mainly focuses on the fact that the developer wants to build on a polluted site. No mention of the home design but the street names are listed such as “Rivendell Drive, Misty Mountain Parkway and Lorien Court”. [More]

Isle of Man Post has landed a major coup and will be issuing a set of eight stamps to coincide with the worldwide release of The Lord of the Rings – Return of the King’ epic on December 17th 2003.
The stamps have been approved by both New Line in New York and Her Majesty the Queen.
Manager of the Philatelic Bureau, Dot Tilbury said, ‘ Long time local resident and internationally renowned actor, John Rhys Davies, who plays the dwarf Gimli in the films, has greatly assisted us in securing the rights. Besides New Zealand, where the film was made, we are the only other Postal administration in the world to be licensed to produce Lord of the Rings’ stamps and we are obviously thrilled. ‘
The Isle of Man Treasury have also issued Lord of the Rings’ coins and Isle of Man Post has been working closely with Pobjoy Mint during the preparation of the stamp issue.
The stamp product can be viewed on our web site www.iompost.com

Note that February of Legolas, he is riding a brown horse instead of a white one. Also April’s picture is interesting of Theoden, Gandalf, Eomer, Legolas, Gimli and Aragorn standing in water looking up at something. A trip to Isenguard perhaps. [More]
