The squash will be held this Tuesday at 8:30 in the Jane Harrison Room, 
Newnham. Come along and meet the committee and members of the CTS. There 
will be drink and biscuits!

Directions: On entering Newnham p'lodge, go through the door on your right 
and follow the corridor. The Jane Harrison room is in Peile which is the 
last building on the corridor. You will pass the buttery on your right 
(this is about halfway there). You will eventually get to a covered 
corridor with arched windows on the left and a tiled floor, there is a 
mirror on the corner at the end of the corridor, as you turn the corner 
Peile is right in front of you. The Jane Harrison room is the first room on 
the left. I'll be in the p'lodge (with a CTS sign) from 8.25-8.35 to take 
people to the squash. There will also be signs.

Mae govannen everyone!

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Philippa the Elvish Officer, who 
shall be attempting to teach some people a bit of Elvish this year. I only 
really know Sindarin (and I'm still a learner!), so that's what I'll be 
focussing on.

This e-mail is just to introduce myself and let you know that I shall 
announce the first Elvish Class and its venue soon (it should be about 
Tourist Sindarin), so look out for that e-mail.

I also want you to know how you can contact me, if you have any ideas or 
suggestions about the Elvish Classes - new input is always appreciated.

I hope to see at least some of you soon, and to all those of you who are 
new - welcome!

Hannon le a navaer!

This is just an early warning to let you know that the Foryule feast will 
be held on 22nd November at Rivendell (in Girton). So keep the date clear 
in your diaries! More details (price, bookings etc.) will follow nearer the 
time.

The Eagle Debate will be held at 8:30 this Tuesday in Peile 304, Newnham.

All the Fellowship are riding on an eagle towards Mount Doom, but the eagle 
is getting tired. Who should be thrown off first? Come along and defend 
your favorite character or just to watch!

Directions: On entering Newnham p'lodge, turn right and follow the very 
long corridor (for those of you who came to the squash - it was also held 
in Peile). Eventually you'll get to a tiled corridor with a mirror on the 
corner at the end of it, go round the corner and at the end of the corridor 
there's a set of doors with 'Peile Hall' above them. Go through them and 
keep following the corridor. Go all the way up the main staircase (on your 
right), at the top, diagonally in front of you is another set of stairs, go 
up these as well. At the top of the stairs, turn right - Peile 304 is on 
the left!

Greetings one and all,

As some of you probably already know, I'm the one that has been gently 
persuaded to try a hand at editing Anor this time round. For those of you 
at the Eagle Debate yesterday, I was the one playing Samwise (again :-] ) 
That should let you put a face to me in most cases.

Staying with a theme; could those of you who participated in the debate 
send me an email, telling me in as much detail as you can (for we all know 
that memory can be a finicky thing at the best of times) who you were 
(middle-earth and real name), what your arguments were in each round, and 
which round you were thrown off in. I would also like to know your 'famous 
last words' before you were hurled to your doom... which did not, in all 
cases, involve a startling resemblance to a *feather floating to the 
ground*...

To those of you who spectated, lend me your ears also: send me your 
comments and recollections anyway - every little will help the write up!

Expect to hear pestiferous whinings in your inboxes soon about wanting 
articles for Anor. You have been warned.

Anna

Hello everyone!

Just to let you know the details of my Halloween party.

Friday 31st October, 7pm
Venue: 427 Keynes, King's
No dress code - come as you are, or dress up if you want to!

I'd also like to treat the night as a bit of an informal Elvish Squash, so 
those of you who would like to do some Elvish this year (it's not demanding 
though!) can come and meet me properly, and I can get to know you a bit.

Now, I *know* my room is on the small side, but it's big enough for us to 
hang around and have a drink, and then we can move on - possibly to another 
party that I know is happening, or maybe to King's bar/Corpus for 
celebrations.

Please can you let me know individually if you can come, as soon as 
possible - I need to think about what food/drinks to get in, etc.

Thanx, and I hope you can come along!

Navaer,
Philippa
The Elvish Officer
pms45

------------------------------------------------

Directions: Enter King's by the main gate and turn left. When you get to 
some steps, go up them and through the double door into the bar. Turn right 
and head through the bar and out the other side. There should be a stone 
staircase on your left, but don't take it - carry on forward until a 
corridor stretches off to your left and turn into it. At the end is a door, 
and through it a staircase - go up 4 floors, turn 180 degrees from the top 
of the stairs (as you stand having come up them), and go through the single 
door. Turn left into the corridor, go right along until you're past 426, 
and then take a little left turn into a small corridor, at the end of which 
is my room. Easy!

Please don't ask the porters for directions - if you'll need directions on 
the night, e-mail me and I'll give you my mobile number, then you can call 
me when you get lost :)

This week's meeting will be held at 8:30 on Tuesday in E18 New Hall.

What if the fellowship never went through Moria? Which way would they go? 
Why would they do this? Would the ring ever be destroyed? Come along and 
have your say and watch the history and fate of Middle Earth change before 
your eyes....

Directions: Enter the New Hall p'lodge and follow the corridor forwards. 
There will be pidgeon holes all along the right hand side; at the end of 
these there is a door on the right. Go through this (you'll know its the 
right door when you see the photocopiers straight on your left). Follow the 
corridor round; you'll go through many large and awkward firedoors, past 
staircases. Eachj staircase had a letter (B, C, D, etc.) Keep going until 
you reach 'E' staircase (this will take a few minutes). Go up as far as the 
stairs will go, and turn left in the corridor at the top. E18 is the second 
door on your right. It will be obvious that it is the home of Tolkien 
maniacs for reasons that will become apparent upon arrival...

Hope to see everyone there!

You knew it was coming sooner or later... Here's a promised pestiferous 
email.

Anor is the journal of the Cambridge Tolkien Society - and we want to pick 
your brains. 'For what?' I hear you cry. Well, here's the blurb from the 
website, followed by blurb of my own...

Contributions come from members, former members and other interested 
parties, and include: reviews of Tolkien-related books and general fantasy 
genre fiction; critical analyses of primary works; reports of society 
events and external events of interest (national TS meetings, conventions 
etc.) and occasional original poetry or fiction. The editor welcomes all 
submissions, which will be considered for inclusion, whatever the source. 
Articles should be of general interest to the readership.

What does it mean? If you can draw, draw, if you can write, write, and if 
you can be generally silly, then be generally silly.

Maybe you feel like drawing ringwraiths on the back of small pieces of 
paper, or maybe you've been reading LOTR and have been struck by the 
significance of dreams in it, or have noted a light-illuminating thread in 
one of the characters that you'd like to share, a significant quote that 
opens up the whole plot.

Maybe you've read Roverandom or the Father Christmas letters and love it so 
much you'd love to report on it and wouldn't writing on the Father 
Christmas Letters be timely as we get towards that unmentionable time of 
year).

Or perhaps you've opinions on the film adaptations (either good or bad) 
that you'd like to air.

Whatever it is, get scribbling! 

If you've a vague idea but aren't sure whether or not it's a good one, drop 
me an email and run it by me. Your thoughts alone are sure to be welcome!

Send your submissions by email, or drop them in my pidgeon hole if you're 
in the New Hall vicinity (A.E. Slack, on the right in the p'lodge).

I look forward to hearing from many of you soon,

Anna
Editor of Anor

full up for Friday night, we still have room on Sunday.

I'll be sorting out the list of who will be invited on each time in the 
next couple of days.

Hello all,

I'm so sorry but I have to call off tonight's party due to illness (I'm off

e-mail in time. I'll make sure I make up for it, and there should be an 
Elvish class soon :)

Sorry again and Happy Halloween,

This week's meeting will be held at 8:30 on Tuesday in E18 New Hall

The Minor Works Debate is a chance for us to look at a side of Tolkien's 
writing that often gets ignored.  Come along and convince everyone to read 
your favourite minor work.  Or alternatively, come and be convinced!

Directions:
Enter the New Hall p'lodge and follow the corridor forwards.
There will be pidgeon holes all along the right hand side; at the end of
these there is a door on the right. Go through this (you'll know its the

We're allowing 4-5 hours (getting people organised, getting food,

If you really can't do this time, let me know. I've gone to some trouble to 
organise this, so hopefully no one will have a problem.

We're not charging anything for this. Although, you may be asked to 
contribute towards any food we get (since the showings will go over 
lunch/supper, we'll probably get a pizza or something - if anyone has any 
menus for takeaways, bring them along).

If, however, you would like to join the CTS and take advatage of 
opportunities like this in the future, we would be delighted! You will be 
able to join on the day (you can also join at any meetings).

The Showings will be in New Hall, directions will follow nearer the date.

As many of you already know, we are planning to do a full length 
dramatisation of the Lord of the Rings next year.

As a preamble to this, we're producing a short comedy made up of a number 
of sketches about Lord of the Rings. This will be performed in the week 
after the end of term.

The BBC have expressed an interest in filming this for the Big Read, and we 
are working hard to make this come off.

There are a number of different parts available for a range of different 
acting abilities. If you would like to be involved, we are planning to cast 
it at the next meeting (the Games Night).

If you can't make it, contact me and I'll try and sort something out.

If you think that acting isn't where your talents are best directed, but 
you want to be involved, we're looking for someone to deal with costumes 
and props, either come and see me next Tuesday, or email me!

Hello each once again,

This is just to let you know that the deadline for Anor submissions is 
Sunday 23rd November (that's just after the Foreyule Feast). This is so 
that I can attempt to get the thing put together and out to you all by the 
end of term.

But, of course, this still leaves you plenty of time to scribble some stuff 
and send it to me - and anything that misses the deadline for this term 
will likely be stashed away for next time. So keep your Anor-hats on, and 
send me what you come up with. :-)

Hello each,

There's been a thought for a new page-filler in Anor; that is, a question 
gets sent to the Society, and folk feed back on it. As many thoughts on 
said question are put into Anor for the delectation and delight of the 
reader. One of the questions is for character assassination purposes, the 
other for general silliness, if that follows.

Simply; all you have to do is answer me, in as many or as few words as you 
like, these two questions;

Question 1: Should lembas be a controlled substance - energy-inducing 
effects, suppresses appetite, addictively pleasant taste; surely this isn't 
good?

Question 2: Character Assassination; What kind of hero is Frodo, anyway?

Send me your thoughts on Frodo and Lembas, and between us we'll fill 
another page of Anor. Anyone who would like to submit questions for next 
time is also welcome to do so.

Remember, the deadline is creeping up for submissions generally (you've got 
about a week left), so if you've ideas and stuff for issue 30, let me know 
asap. :-)

Thanks to each,
Anna Slack
Editor of Anor

The debate will be held at 8:30 on Tuesday in Peile 304 Newnham.

Is the ring evil, or does it merely bring out evil in others? What 
difference does this make? Come and give us your opinion.

Directions: Enter Newnham's plodge, turn right and walk down the *very* 
long corridor. This will take about 5 minutes. Eventually, you'll get to a 
set of double doors with 'Peile Hall' above it. Go through them, and keep 
going down the corridor. Go all the way up the main staircase. At the top, 
go up the stairs diagonally in front of you. At the top of the stairs, turn 
right down the corridor, Peile 304 is on your left.

meet at the Round Church at 6.20. If you wish to be part of it, please 
e-mail hftc2@cam.ac.uk

Directions: Go up Castle Hill. Keep walking along that road, down Girton

Mae govannen everyone,

Just to announce that I'm having a

*Saturnalia Party*
8pm, Friday 28th November
427 Keynes, King's

This will involve talking about Elvish, getting some ideas, etc - so please 
come, Elvish people. I know Saturnalia is a Roman thing (I'm a Classicist), 
and some of my Classics friends will be there, but this is for you guys too 
:)

Though costume has been suggested, it isn't compulsory (I doubt I can get 
anything together myself by then - maybe I'll have a proper toga party next 
term). The plan, as always, is to sit around and eat and drink, whilst 
enjoying intellectual or otherwise conversation.

As requested, please find *no Latin whatsoever* in this e-mail (well, 
except Saturnalia, but that's a proper name. I mean, my name's Greek and 
I'm going to put it at the end of the e-mail).

Please bring people, friends, slaves, or whatever. And please let me know 
if you can make it - I need to know numbers (so even if you said you were 
coming, could you still e-mail me?).

Hope you can come!

Philippa
The Elvish Officer

------------------------------------------------------

Directions: Enter King's by main gate, turn left, go through double door to 
bar, turn right, head through, come out by stone staircase but don't go up 
it, go on a bit to corridor on left, go along it, through door, up 4 
flights of stairs, turn round to your right from top of stairs, go through 
door, go left along corridor, go past 426 and take a little left turn into 
my corridor and 427 is at the end. Easy.

Dear all,

For those who are a)hanging about after the end of term (full term ends=20
December 5th) and b) wondering how to fill up one of those days before=20
returning to whichever Shires you hail from, here is a thought...

You're probably all very much aware of the Lord of the Rings film=20
exhibition going on in the London Science Museum at the moment. Myself and=
=20
a few friends are intending to sneak down on Tuesday 9th December to have a=
=20
good look round. Although this is not an official Tolkien Society excursion=
=20
(so you'll have to book your own tickets), any of you who would like to=20
join us (we'll meet at Cambridge Station, journey down en masse, do the=20
exhibition, and return) would be more than welcome.

When you book tickets you have to go in for a certain time-slot. My party=
=20
are thinking of grabbing the 2.30 slot, meaning a not too early start from=
=20
Cambridge.

For those with an interest; we lucky people appear to be able to get a=20
student discount on the tickets which means that these would cost =A36.95 f=
or=20
the exhibition, and another =A31 for the booking online fee thing. The trai=
n=20
down to London (including the tube) with a student railcard is in the=20
region of =A311.

So, anyone wanting a few Tolkienian travelling companions for the journey=
=20
there and back again, let me know, and we shall wait for you at the=20
station. I shall email with the time of departure closer to the day.

Best wishes to all, Anna Slack Editor of Anor, Secretary of the=20
sub-Committee. Couldn't decide which one to use :)

The Shire, sub-committee of the CTS are organising a few Lord of the Rings 
related sketches which will be performed at the end of term. They should be 
good fun (and there is a chance that the BBC might be interested in filming 
them), a good end to the term. It would be really great if as many people 
as possible could come and see them!

The performance will be at 3:30 on 7th December. It will be in the Old Labs 
at Newnham.

Directions: From Newnham p'lodge take the door diagonally in front of you 
(to the right), this will take you outside. Follow the path, the Old Labs 
are a small(ish) brick building in the garden, there are signs!

A big thank you to everyone who has contributed to Anor this term - your 
efforts have been much appreciated! Now begins the task of putting it all 
together... I shall keep you posted as to when all is ready for its most 
important task - being read.

In the meantime, you have all Christmas to think up and scribble new ideas, 
so keep thinking. If luck holds, the aim will be to get another Anor out at 
the end of next term - so keep sending your ideas and writings in my 
general direction. :-)

Best wishes to all,

This week's debate will be held this Tuesday at 8:30 in E18 New Hall.

The debate is an opportunity for the society to trace Elrond's character 
development through the various books in which he appears.

Directions:
Enter the New Hall p'lodge and follow the corridor forwards. 
There will be pidgeon holes all along the right hand side; at the end of 
these there is a door on the right. Go through this (you'll know its the 
right door when you see the photocopiers straight on your left). Follow the 
corridor round; you'll go through many large and awkward firedoors, past 
staircases. Eachj staircase had a letter (B, C, D, etc.) Keep going until 
you reach 'E' staircase (this will take a few minutes). Go up as far as the 
stairs will go, and turn left in the corridor at the top. E18 is the second 
door on your right. It will be obvious that it is the home of Tolkien 
maniacs for reasons that will become apparent upon arrival...

The Reading Evening is the CTS's traditional end to the term. Bring along 
your books and share your favourite passages of Tolkien with us.

Directions: Enter Newnham's p'lodge, turn right and follow the *very* long 
corridor until you each Peile (the last building - 'Peile Hall' is written 
above a set of double doors). Continue to follow the corridor, go up the 
main stairs (on your right), once you are at the top, there is another set 
of stairs diagonally in front of you. Go all the way up these, turn right 
down the corridor, 304 is on the left.

Anor 30 is now in print, and although it was my intent to distribute it at 
the reading evening, I didn't make it... But never fear!

My new cunning wholesale distribution plan is to hand them out at the 
Sunday performance of the silly sketches. Any of you not getting them then 
(either for absence or running out of copies-ness) will be able to whine at 
me, and I shall make or supply extra copies for those wishing them.

I look forward to seeing many of you then!

Suilaid everyone,

I just wanted to say how sorry I am that I haven't been able to get any 
Elvish Classes together this term (illness and excessive work got in the 
way somewhat). However, I shall definitely be doing some classes next term, 
and I'll make it up to you then.

Have a very merry Christmas and New Year!

vac :)

This Sunday (7th) we're putting on three sketches based on the Lord of the 
Rings.  They should be amusing and a good and relaxing end to the term. 
The performance is at 3:30 in the Old Labs, Newnham.  We hope to see as 
many people there as possible!

Directions:
On entering Newnham's p'lodge go through the door diagonally in front of 
you to the right.  This will take you outside.  Follow the path, the Old 
Labs are in the middle of the Gardens and are signed!

Hello each,

Item 1: To those that contributed to Anor 30: You may be interested to know 
that I today deposited a copy in the Cambridge University Library, no less, 
so you have now all been immortalised forever. :-)

Item 2: Back issues of Anor are held in the UL, but they have many, many 
missing. I wanted to ask around and see if any of you possessed any of 
these issues so that I could photocopy them and put them into the UL for 
our records.

Item 3: Anyone wanting to look at Anors in the UL needs to go and talk to 
the Periodicals desk, just for future reference.

Item 4: Get scribbling and drawing and stuff over the holidays - and don't 
hesitate to send me anything you think of for Anor 31 :-)

Best wishes to all, have a fantastic vacation and very merry Christmas,
Anna

Greetings one and each,

In the last few days, the Shire had a reply from the Tolkien Estate, giving 
us the final piece of copyright permission that we require to go ahead with 
a read-through of the BBC Radio Adaptation of Lord of the Rings. This will 
likely take place in the Easter term.

The purpose of this missive is to enquire whether any of you have a
particular interest in playing a particular character (bearing in mind that
there are so many that most folk will need to play several). This will not
require line learning, and no acting (except in voices, of course), just a
willingness to participate will be enough :-)

So, if any of you have a love of any particular character, from Aragorn to 
Barliman, the Mouth of Sauron to Wormtongue, or whether you'd just like to 
be given anything we feel appropriate, drop me an email, and let me know. I 
look forward to hearing from those of you that are interested!

Christmas wishes to all,
Anna Slack

Greetings to each!

I hope you have all had restful holidays and are now enjoying the rainy 
delights of Cambridge in the new year.

As you may have gathered from the title of the email, I'm on the hunt once 
again for things to put in the pages of Anor 31. Essays, articles, 
drawings, photos, silliness, poetry, prose...

If you've one of these or anything else that you can think of, I'd love to 
hear from you. It would be great to make Anor 31 as filled as was its 
predecessor.

If anyone has not yet received their copy of Anor 30, which went to press 
in the last week of last term, I still have a few left; let me know that 
you want one and then come along to a meeting to claim it.

If there are any queries about anything Anor-related, feel free to email me.

I look forward to hearing from many of you :)

Best wishes to all,
Anna Slack

Hello everyone,

I just want to let you know that there will definitely be some Elvish 
classes this term - the first should be on Friday 23rd, but this will be 
confirmed soon. The classes are for anyone who's interested in the language 
(Sindarin, that is) - we'll probably start with general things, 
pronunciation, getting you speaking a few bits, etc. I do hope some of you 
will be able to make it.

Also, I'd just like to say that, if anyone has any Elvish queries, you're 
very welcome to address them to me (though I can't *promise* to know the 
answer!).

Cuio vae :)

involved in the reading of the BBC Radio Adaptation of Lord of the Rings 
that the Sub-committee is organising for charity.

If you have already expressed an interest and emailed me, you'll find

If you would like to be involved, whether in voice, admin, sound, or 
something else, and haven't emailed, it's not too late! This email will 
provide you with all you need to know.

Either way, read on! There'll be a lot of information here, but hopefully 
it will make sense.

WHAT WE'RE DOING: We will be reading the entire radio version of the Lord 
of the Rings (which will take at least 13 hours). WHY: We intend to raise 
money, either through sponsorship, donation, or a bit of both, to give to 
the National Trust - a charity we feel Tolkien would have approved of were 
he still with us. WHEN: The date at the moment that we have set is SATURDAY 
JUNE 19th, 2004. This is the saturday after May week and just after the end 
of next term. If you want to be involved, you need to keep this day 
completely free of other commitments. WHERE: We will be performing the 
reading in Borders Cambridge, on the third floor, microphones and coffee 
provided.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

We're looking for several types of people, and the most important thing in 
all cases will be enthusiasm;

VOICES: Many people will have several minor characters to do, and these 
will need to be able to do different voices. Others will have one major 
characer to do. Whatever you get cast with, you will play that character 
FOR THE DURATION. We would like to keep fairly close to the character 
interpretation offered by the radio version, so it would be great if you 
were familiar with it. But if you're not that doesn't pose a problem. There 
will be NO LEARNING OF LINES involved, but we will need you to be 
acquainted enough with your parts that you can read it fluently. We will 
also require a lot of time and enthusiasm from you - see audition details 
below.

ADMIN: We will need a small team of dedicated people to ensure that 
everything runs smoothly on the day. This team will be vital to the 
reading's success. These are the folk who will call up missing voices and 
stand in if a voice doesn't appear on time.

SOUND: We will need two or three people, possibly working in shifts, to be 
in charge of the sound effects, music, and so forth on the day.

AUDITIONS:

There will be two audition sessions. We would love to see you at one or 
both of them. (You needn't know exactly what character you would like to 
play, just come along and try something out.) You will be asked to read 
something from the book, as the scripts are still in transit. If you'd care 
to come prepared with a copy of LOTR that would likely be helpful, but 
don't worry if you can't.

The first will be on TUESDAY 20th JANUARY, just prior to the Society 
meeting. It will begin at 7pm in the Music Room, New Hall. An email with 
directions will be sent a little closer to the time. We would love to see 
as many of you as possible there.

The second meeting will be on SUNDAY FEBRUARY 1st, place and time to be 
confirmed, although it is likely to be late afternoon or early evening.

At both meetings we will outline a little more of the plan.

If you know already that you won't be able to make either of these 
rehearsals, let me know, and we can arrange something else.

Anyone with an interest in admin or sound would be welcome to the 
auditions, too.

It sounds cruel, but I must stress at this point the most important thing; 
this is a HUGE project, and we will need the full commitment of everyone 
involved to make it work properly. Essentially, if you want to be involved, 
we want to be able to count on you.

I hope all this isn't too intimidating! :)

If there are any questions feel free to email me and ask them. Failing 
that, the sub-committee and myself look forward to meeting many of you next 
Tuesday evening.

Best to all,
Anna Slack
Keeper of the Book of Westmarch

The first official meeting of theis term will be this Tuesday at 8:30 in 
E18 New Hall.

As the title suggests, this meeting will be devoted to an indepth 
discussion of Peter Jackson's version of the Return of the King. Whether 
you loved it or hated it, come along for an interesting debate.

Directions:

Enter the New Hall p'lodge and follow the corridor forwards. 
There will be pidgeon holes all along the right hand side; at the end of 
these there is a door on the right. Go through this (you'll know its the 
right door when you see the photocopiers straight on your left). Follow the 
corridor round; you'll go through many large and awkward firedoors, past 
staircases. Eachj staircase had a letter (B, C, D, etc.) Keep going until 
you reach 'E' staircase (this will take a few minutes). Go up as far as the 
stairs will go, and turn left in the corridor at the top. E18 is the second 
door on your right. It will be obvious that it is the home of Tolkien 
maniacs for reasons that will become apparent upon arrival...

Hello each,

For those of you planning to attend the Tuesday (tomorrow) evening 
audition, here are the promised directions;

Make your way up the hill towards the hill-billy colleges; New Hall is on 
the left hand side of the road, opposite the Texaco.

Enter through the main doors. You'll find yourself in the p'lodge. Just 
beyong the p'lode itself you'll see many pidgeon holes lining the left hand 
wall. There is a door just past the first collection of p'holes. If you go 
through this you will find yourself outside, with two more doors on your 
left. The second one of these is the Music Room.

If in doubt, collar the porters :)

Hello each,

Here, as promised, are the details for the second and final audition for 
the Shire's charity reading of the Radio Version.

The audition will take place on Sunday, February 1st, from 6.30-8pm in the 
Music Room, New Hall. Accurate directions for this to follow.

Can those of you who have already auditioned please come along and join 
those of us who are there already from 8-8.30, so that we can give a 
briefing as to what the rehearsal schedule, script handling, and on the day 
plan will be.

We will also need to sort an admin crew; if any of you would like to be 
involved with that, please let me know.

If you won't be able to attend the audition on Sunday, it would be useful 
to know that in advance. It would also be great to know how many of you 
will be there generally, so if you could send a quick email in my direction 
that would be great (means we can be sure to have enough chairs and the 
like).

Although we are now much closer to having scripts, we will still be 
auditioning from the book itself. If you have a copy to hand, do bring it 
along.

Directions for the Music Room: Enter New Hall by the front entrance, from 
which the Dome glares down at you sinisterly like Minas Morgul. On your 
RIGHT as you pass the p'lodge there is a sequence of pidgeon holes. Just 
after the first of these is a door that leads immediately outside. If you 
find yourself going up ramps or stairs or anything you have missed the 
door! Take the door, and you will see two doors on your left a little way 
down the path. The music room is the second of these.

Many apologies to those I confused last time by typing left and not right 
at the crucial point. :)

I look forward to seeing you all there,

Best wishes to all,

Anna Slack

Mae govannen, everyone!

I'd just like to apologise for having to reschedule the Elvish class, but I 
can now announce the new details...

Time:  7pm, Tuesday 27th January
Venue:  Peile 304, Newnham

This will be sort of introductory - we'll be looking at Sindarin from a 
starter's point-of-view, learning a few different phrases, and most 
importantly getting to speak a few bits. For those of you who are keen 
linguists I'll try to explain as much as possible, but you don't need to be 
linguistically-minded to come along - it will be fun for everyone.

The class is right before a CTS meeting, as regulars will know, but you 
don't have to stay for that if you don't want to.

I hope some of you can come along!

Cuio vae!
Philippa
The Elvish Officer

Directions: Go to p'lodge, it's on sidgewick Ave. consult a map. Turn right 
in the plodge go along corridor of longness. Get to Peile. Climb stairs. 
Note, long means it takes me 5mins to walk it... but it is a good 
approximation to a straight line, and deviations from the right way 
generally are not possible. And yes, you do have to go past the kitchen, 
unless there is formal (and I'm fairly sure there isn't) you do not need to 
go up any stairs 'till you get to Peile - Peile has a door marked 'Peile 
Hall' at the start of it.

Or... Peile carpark is on Grange road, just after Sidgewick ave. if you are 
comming up SA or from the direction of Selwyn. Go in it, go through the 
door (C23560 and turn the thing to the left), failing this go arround Peile 
- face door, turn right go arround building there is a door in the middle. 
Go up three flights of stairs, right and my room is on the left number 304 
(says so on the door)

- directions courtesy of Helen, whose room we are invading.

This week's debate will be in P304 Newnham on Tuesday at 8:30.

The reverse of last term's Eagle debate. Which of the villians should the 
Valar throw into the Outer Darkness? Which will survive? Come along to 
represent a character, or come to vote your most hated character into the 
Outer Darkness...

Directions:
On entering Newnham p'lodge, turn right and follow the very 
long corridor (for those of you who came to the squash - it was also held 
in Peile). Eventually you'll get to a tiled corridor with a mirror on the 
corner at the end of it, go round the corner and at the end of the corridor 
there's a set of doors with 'Peile Hall' above them. Go through them and 
keep following the corridor. Go all the way up the main staircase (on your 
right), at the top, diagonally in front of you is another set of stairs, go 
up these as well. At the top of the stairs, turn right - Peile 304 is on 
the left!

A team of five compete against a team from Tauruithon on their knowledge of 
the Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit and Hobbits, Tolkien's Life and 
Languages, Posthumous Works and Minor Works.

Tuesday's debate will be held at 8:30 in R16 Memorial Court, Clare College.

Beren and Luthien are two of Tolkien's most famous lovers. Their story is 
told in short by Aragorn in the Lord of the Rings, but it is the chapter 
from the Silmarillion which we will be examining. This is an excellent 
introduction for those unfamiliar with the Silmarillion; and an interesting 
debate for those who know and love it.

Directions: Memorial Court, Clare College is on Queen's Road. Enter, and 
proceed past the Porter's Lodge. A large octagonal building is directly in 
front of you. R staircase is in the far-right corner. Pass through the 
doorway, up, up, up the winding stairs and through the door on the left. 
R16, is the second door on the left. Speak, friend, and enter.

I've been in contact with Sylvia Rucevic (sr363@cam.ac.uk).  She was given=20
a Lord of the Rings ring which is sadly to big for her, so she is looking=20
to sell it and wondered whether any of the CTS would be interested.

Details:
It is 585 14ct d-shape gold ring, size is N (A
is the smallest size), diameter is 16.92 mm or .666 inches. It is US size 6 =

1/2 or French size 54. Colour is yellow. Band width is 6 mm and it weighs=20
between 6.5 and 6.9 grams. It sells as a
heavy ring. Elvish script is laser engraved. The price of the ring is =
=A3200=20
pounds (normal selling price =A3250), however this is negotiable.

Please address all inquiries to Sylvia

What if Sauron could take physical form? What would be different? Is the 
listless eye more or less scary and effective? Come along and give us your 
opinion.

Directions: Enter Newnham's p'lodge, turn right, go down the corridor. 
Continue down the corridor until every moment is weariness... Eventually 
you'll get to Peile, go up the main staircase to your right, at the top of 
the staircase, there's another staircase diagonally in front of you to the 
right; go up it. At the very top of the staircase, turn right down the 
corridor, 304 is first on the left.

Hello Each,

A pestiferous email for you, to remind you to scribble things for Anor! 
Although I haven't decided on a fixed deadline date yet for this issue's 
submissions, it is likely to be at the beginning of March, in the hope that 
I can get it out despite nasty deadlines of my own...

I know I coerced some of you into writing stuff on Tuesday evening... But 
the more the merrier!

I hope I shall hear from some of you soon!

Hello all,

As you probably know, the CTS will be holding a Read-through of The Lord of 
the Rings at Borders on the second Saturday of May Week.

As the head of the on-the-day admin team, I am looking for volunteer 
assistants in a variety of roles - it could be anything from looking after 
the money bucket, filling in for someone's part for a while, assisting with 
sound, helping me to keep an eye on everything... Whatever happens, it'll 
be a fun day (and you may not be needed all day - that's negotiable) - we 
might just need to meet up the odd time beforehand so we know what 
everyone's doing.

Please contact me (pms45) if you're interested (even if you're already 
playing something, you could well come in useful!).

Cuio vae!

The submission deadline for this term's Anor, the highly lauded number 31 
(huzzah!), is Monday 1st March, 12pm. At the moment I don't have an awful

Every year, Minis Tirith (the Cambridge Tolkien Society) faces an epic 
battle with Taruithorn (the Oxford Tolkien Society).  This year, the 
Varsity Quiz will be held in Oxford on the 28th of February.  We were very 
close to victory last year, so we're really looking to destroy Oxford now!

We will be leaving from the Drummer Street Bus Station (probably taking the 
9.20 bus, but details will be confirmed).  And we should arrive back before 
10/11 that evening.

The CTS is looking both for a quiz team and for a number of people to come 
and support it.  The team will be chosen on the day.

If you are planning to come, can you please e-mail the committee, just so 
we have an idea of how many people to expect (if you don't remember to 
e-mail, you will still be most welcome).

Ainsworth Court.  As this is quite far away from the centre, there will be 
a walking party.  We shall meet at the Corner of Parkers' Piece by Pizza

First, let me extend the society's congratulations to our quiz team who 
yesterday triumphed over Taruithon in the Varsity Quiz.

Second, this week's meeting will be at 8:30 on Tuesday in Bag End (E18 New 
Hall).

Tolkien's works contain an abundance of leaders, all of whom have different 
styles.  But what makes a leader, and, more importantly, what makes a 
successful leader?

Third, just a reminder that bookings for the Annual Dinner close on Tuesday.

Directions:

Enter the New Hall p'lodge and follow the corridor forwards.
There will be pidgeon holes all along the right hand side; at the end of
these there is a door on the right. Go through this (you'll know its the

stairs will go, and turn left in the corridor at the top. E18 is the second
door on your right. It will be obvious that it is the home of Tolkien
maniacs for reasons that will become apparent upon arrival...

Just a word to let you know that Anor 31 has now gone to press, and will=20
likely be distributed either at the AGM / Dinner or the Reading Evening=20
next Tuesday; it depends upon where yours truly can get her hobbit feet to,=
=20
and whether she can extrapolate herself from nassssty little portfolio=20
essays...

If you're a member of the Society (ie, if you've paid either for a year or=
=20
for life), you're likely to be entitled to one for free. Assert your=20
democratic rights!

If you're not a member but would like one anyway, let me know; it will set=
=20
you back about =A31.

Meanwhile (wait for it), scribbles for Anor 32 are eagerly awaited.=20
There'll be no more pestering emails about it 'til next term, I promise!

Best to all,
Anna Slack
Editor of Anor

Hello all,

So the student-population has remigrated to Cambridge, and that most 
dreadful time of year has begun its inevitable cycle once again. You seek a 
form of procrastination, anything to keep you from that question, essay, or 
practical write up, which may just get done by the time that hell freezes 
over...

I have the most perfect solution for you; write an article, draw a picture, 
take a photo, for Anor!

I hope to get no.32 out in time for the Punt Moot and/or Reading - so the 
deadline for submissions is May 31st. If you have any queries at all, or 
would like to purchase/claim copies of previous Anors, don't hesitate to 
get in contact with me.

You all know the drill by now. I shall disappear again :)

Best to all,

Anna Slack
Editor of Anor

This week's meeting will be in Peile 304 Newnham

?Fi Tahw is our backwards what if? debate.  We find a conclusion and work 
out how it came to pass, we then work forwards and put things right again. 
Fi Tahw the silmarils ended up in hobbiton?  How could this have come to 
pass and what will be its effects?

Directions:
On entering Newnham p'lodge, turn right and follow the very
long corridor. Eventually you'll get to a tiled corridor with a mirror on 
the corner at the end of it, go round the corner and at the end of the 
corridor there's a set of doors with 'Peile Hall' above them. Go through 
them and keep following the corridor. Go all the way up the main staircase 
(on your right), at the top, diagonally in front of you is another set of 
stairs, go up these as well. At the top of the stairs, turn right - Peile 
304 is on
the left!

If in doubt, Newnham has now got exciting new signs to put you right!

This week's meeting will be on Tuesday at 8.30 in E18 New Hall

The studio execs have deliberated and come to a decision: there are too 
many minor characters in The Lord of The Rings!  A number of them are up 
for the chop on Tuesday.  Come along and help us decide who's at risk. 
Then defend your favorite minor character.  Alternatively, come and 
mercilessly eliminate Fatty Bolger, and watch people defend Tom Bombadill 
to the death!

Hello everyone,

We've just been reliably informed that it is traditional for the CTS to 
have a croquet match with members of the Tiddlywinks Society in May Week 
(apparently it is all down to a punting incident a few years ago). Drinking 
Pimms is also part of the tradition. Very Cambridge!

The match will take place on the evening of Thursday 17th at Selwyn (though 
precise time and location will be confirmed shortly).

So, we're looking for team members and spectators. Please e-mail the 
committee (soc-tolkien-committee@lists.cam.ac.uk) if you are interested.

It promises to be a fun-filled and rather interesting occasion!

Hello people,

The croquet match is settles for 7pm on Thursday 17th on the Croquet Lawn 
at Selwyn (the porters can direct you if you don't know it).

All those who have replied to the request for players/spectators, I look 
forward to seeing you there (even those who made sarcastic comments), and 
anyone who didn't reply but wants to come along, please just show up. We'll 
sort out the team on the day.

Hoping to see as many as possible there :)

Dear all,

The year begins again: to drown our sorrows (hopefully before they begin) 
and to numb ourselves against the coming term; to indulge in memories of 
the age that has passed and to look forward to the one that is coming, we 
cordially invite you to the ever-famous...

INNMOOT!

The innmoot will be on Tuesday 5th October (tomorrow), at the Castle Inn, 
The Hill, Cambridge. Beginning at 19:00 for those that would like to order 
food, and from 20:00 onwards otherwise. Anyone getting there first should 
try and get our favourite table - the big one upstairs.

Some of the Committee will be at the Fresher's Fair until 19:00, so anyone 
in that area is welcome to walk back to the Castle with them as they leave.

Best to all,

Anna

Dear all,

Greetings to all, old and new! In this *carefully spell-checked* email 
you'll find some details about this term's up-and-coming-events.

12th (Tues.), 20:30, New Hall Bar: The CTS Squash! Come along to meet the 
current committee and meet everyone else involved in the society. A great 
opportunity to learn more about us and our plans for this year, or to ask 
questions. Food and drink will be lurking about throughout for consumption.

19th (Tues.), 20:00, Newnham College, Clough 229: If Newnham's endless 
corridors don't fox you, come along for one of our favourite debates - the 
Eagle Debate. The principle is simple but has a well deserved reputation 
for hilarity: The fellowship are riding to Mordor on the back of an eagle 
to dispose of the One Ring, peril of all Middle Earth. But the eagle is 
getting tired (they're no good at bearing burdens, you know). Who is to be 
thrown off first, and who will last to the end? Winners in the last few 
years have included Legolas, Sam, and Boromir... Come and defend your 
favourite, or just listen to the madness.

26th (Tues.), 20:00, New Hall, Bag End (Room E18): What if... Numenor 
hadn't drowned?: Come and join us as we explore how the schema of 
Middle-Earth might have changed. A little water never hurt anyone, after 
all...

2nd Nov. (Tues), 20:00, location tbc: Gandalf: Mental or Mentor?: A 
character debate on one of Tolkien's pivotal players.

9th (Tues.), 20:00, Newnham College, Clough 227 and 229: The Games Evening: 
Beat the 5th week blues with a range of Tolkien themed games; Monopoly, 
Risk, Tinuviel pursuit... The list is endless.

16th (Tues.), 20:00, New Hall, Bag End (E18): Eucatastrophe and Tolkien's 
Works: Tolkien held that eucatastrophe was 'the highest function of fairy 
story'. But what is eucatastrophe (apart from Anna's favourite word), where 
did it come from, and, perhaps most importantly, does Tolkien's most famous 
work achieve it? Come along and not only seek answers to this question, but 
help an English student with her final dissertation...

23rd (Tues.), 20:00, location tbc: The End Goes Ever On and On: The films 
were chastised for drawing out the ending; the book is sometimes considered 
worse. Come to debate the last pages of The Lord of the Rings, and learn 
about the alternate ending...

30th (Tues.), 20:00, Newnham College, Clough 229: Reading Evening: The 
traditional wind-down to a stressful term. Bring along your favourite bits 
of any of Tolkien's works to read aloud, or just come along to listen in to 
others.

Also this term: The Foreyule Feast, our pre-Christmas dinner! Details to 
follow.

You can keep up-to-date with all this information via our website. Enjoy!

Dear all,

This week prepare for the debate to end them all: the Eagle Debate.

The principle is simple but has a well deserved reputation for hilarity: 
The fellowship are riding to Mordor on the back of an eagle to dispose of 
the One Ring, peril of all Middle Earth. But the eagle is getting tired 
(they're no good at bearing burdens, you know). Who is to be thrown off 
first, and who will last to the end? Winners in the last few years have 
included Legolas, Sam, and Boromir... Come and defend your favourite, or 
just listen to the madness.

The debate will be taking place on Tuesday evening at 20:30, Newnham 
college, Clough 229. Here are some directions for those of you liable to 
confusion at the merciless hands of the endless corridors...

Enter Newnham's p'lodge, turn right.  Follow the corridor for a while (you
will pass the library, buttery and kitchen on your right and college hall
on your left) until you get into a red-tiled corridor.  Walk down this
until you see the main staircase on your right.  Go up to the second floor,
turn right and follow the corridor round until you see 229 on your left.
It's fairly well sign-posted.

Looking forward to seeing some of you there!

laughing he sprang from his bed. 'How do I feel?' he cried. 'Well, I don't 
know how to say it. I feel, I feel... I feel like spring after winter, and 
sun on the leaves; and like trumpets and harps and all the songs that I 
have ever heard!'

Dear all,

Anor is the journal of the Cambridge Tolkien Society. It is published once 
a term (honest!), and copies of it are stored in the UL for posterity, as 
well as with the main Tolkien Society.

The editor of this august publication (ie, me), is looking for things to 
fill its pages this term. So, if you feel inspired, why not have a 
scribble? Past issues have included artwork, poetry, parodies, scripts, 
serious articles, write-ups of debates and events held by the society, 
overseas contributions, and plain silliness.

If you've an idea and want to see if its suitable, or have any other 
questions about Anor, then feel free to drop me an email.

The dealine for the submission of articles for Anor 33 is midnight on the 
12th November. Articles can be submitted via email (to aes42@cam.ac.uk), 
snail mail (Anna Slack, New Hall, Cambridge, CB3 0DF), or UMS.

For more information, check out the website. Other than that, get 
scribbling! I look forward to hearing from some of you :)

Best to all,

Anna Slack
Editor of Anor

This week in the madness that is the CTS...

What if... Numenor hadn't drowned?

20:30: Tuesday 26th October, Bag End (E18), New Hall (directions below)

Come and join us for a little hell and high water as we explore how a 
familiar plot might have changed had certain natural disasters been 
prevented. Even if you don't know huge amounts about Numenor, come along to 
heckle, interject, listen, or whatever takes your fancy.

I look forward to seeing
