Apr. 26th, 2009 05:18 pmI've kept the same sub-heading on my journal for the last five years, but I decided that the change in my life this weekend deserved a new one.
On Saturday the Tolkien Society held its AGM, and I was elected Chairman, after doing the job as Acting Chairman since January.

It was a slightly stressful weekend, but helped by good friends, a wonderful location and a good Annual dinner yesterday evening. Next year I'll even remember to take the text of the Standing Silence with me. ;-)
