Back when the Lord of the Rings films were arriving in theaters each December for three successive years, TheOneRing.net helped organized and supported line party lines around the world.
Things change a lot in a decade, but we want to get in touch with all the line leaders. If you served as a line leader, please get in touch with us at: TORnLineParty@Gmail.com. Put your city in the subject line to help us sort quickly and feel free to remind us inside the email of your efforts and any details you see fit. Thanks!

On any given day, there could be many Tolkien related events taking place somewhere on this great big planet of ours. Sometimes we get to post about those events on our homepage, sometimes we don’t. To make things a bit easier for Ringers worldwide to keep track of upcoming (and past) events, we are announcing TheOneRing.net Event Calendar! This new calendar, maintained using Google Calendar, not only allows you to quickly and easily look through upcoming events, it allows you to subscribe and even add events to your own personal calendar. That way you can set up you own reminders and alerts ’til your hearts content! And best yet, if you have an event coming up, we do take submissions to be included on the calendar. Our goal is to make this the most comprehensive calendar for Tolkien fans worldwide, and with your help, we hope to reach that goal! Follow the link to view the upcoming events.

The organisers of the annual Middle-earth Weekend at Sarehole Mill, Hall Green, in Birmingham, would like to invite you to take part in our photographic competition. Submit to us your photos of a tree or trees, taken throughout the year, that are sympathetic to Tolkien’s own love of trees and his stories. The aim is to create a calendar for 2012 that can be bought online. We invite you to submit photographs, taken at any time of year, of favourite, unusual, natural, beautiful and characterful trees, leaves or branches. Participation is free of charge. Entries must be original, natural and unmodified apart from minor cropping or resizing. They do not need to have been photographed recently but we would like details of where and the date when the photograph was taken.
The 12 chosen photographs will have the distinction and recognition of being included in this unusual and distinctive calendar with prizes awarded to the best two.
The Competition runs from now until the end of April when the winners will be chosen and their photographs prepared for display during The Middle-earth Weekend on Saturday and Sunday 21st and 22nd May and subsequently incorporated into the design of the calendar. Details of the competition and its rules can be found on our website: www.middleearthweekend.org.uk.

After lying dormant like Mount Doom for 40 years, the Third Conference On Middle-earth (C.O.M.E.) returns on March 25-26, 2011.
The weekend devoted to J.R.R. Tolkien and his works such as “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings” includes papers, panels, a party, banquet, and a film screening. C.O.M.E. takes place at the Westford Regency Inn & Conference Center in Westford, Massachusetts (USA), about 40 minutes northwest of Boston.
“It’s too long since I chaired the First and Second Conferences on Middle-earth,” said Peregrin Took II (aka Jan Howard Finder), who helped organize the first two gatherings. The first conference took place in Urbana-Champaign, Illinois at the University of Illinois in 1969; the second, in 1971, was held in Cleveland, Ohio.
