Are you a convention fan? Been to a Lord of the Rings convention or taken part in a lining-up party?<\/p>\n
If you are, join us this weekend and share your LoTR fan experience. Maybe you got to meet and talk to some of the cast or crew. Maybe you’re an autograph hunter. Perhaps you prefer have a more scholarly bent.<\/p>\n
Or maybe, for you it’s all about the fun of catching up with fellow fans and enjoying the atmostphere.<\/p>\n
