Vic James from Red Carpet Tours reports that there has been an enthusiastic response from LOTR fans wanting to join Red Carpet Tours’ ‘Hobbit Premiere Tour of New Zealand’ in December, 2011. It will be a great time to be in Middle Earth! Last October’s Red Carpet LOTR Sketching Tour with calligrapher , map maker and artist Daniel Reeve, was a most enjoyable experience for those who participated – a report of the tour is on Daniel’s website. Daniel has agreed to repeat the tour and September 28th to October 10th is favoured for this to happen. Those interested can email Vic James, Red Carpet Tours, directly at . This is a good time to take advantage of the New Zealand dollar currently @ 51 cents against the U.S. dollar and make a booking!

There is soon to be a change of ownership of the remote sheep station which was the location for EDORAS. It is to be hoped that the new owners will continue to allow access to tour groups, as this magnificent site is of such special significance to fans. Vic will be monitoring the changes ahead.
