ONLINE ONLY THIS JANUARY AND FEBRUARY 2025 - We usually meet (and broadcasting via the Internet) on the SECOND Saturday of each month, from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm (Pacific Time). Meeting online. Broadcasts Live and record on Youtube.com/tolkienscholars

MEETING ONLINE ONLY THIS MONTH

Due to the RPG Community Center shutting down, we will not longer be meeting there. While things are currently in transition, we haven't worked out a new location for the in-person meetings, so until we figure that out, the meetings will be online only for at least January and February 2025. Hopefully by March or April we'll have a new venue decided upon that allows us to meet both in-person and online as we have done for more than a decade.

ABOUT THE Eä TOLKIEN SOCIETY

The Eä Tolkien Society has been meeting monthly (plus annual Tolkien Moot conventions) since 2005. We are an official Smial of the U.K. Tolkien Society.

We NOW meet on the SECOND Saturday of each month, 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm (Pacific Time), see the website for any notices about any changes or delays: http://www2.tolkienscholars.org/news

We usually meet in Spokane, Washington and online.

For January and February 2025 we are meeting online only. Hopefully by March we'll have a new venue for meeting in-person that also allows us to continue our online simulcast.
