Feb. 24th, 2013 03:06 pmYesterday was my last Tolkien Society committee meeting (at least for the foreseeable future).
I'm still in post, until midnight on the 20th April, after the AGM, and there's still quite a lot to do between now and then. On the other hand, going to Birmingham (and before that Oxford) every couple of months for a meeting and a meal afterwards has been part of my life for the last 15 years. It's going to be strange not to be doing that.
I decided I wanted to make a little bit of an occasion of it, and arranged for us to go to a slightly fancier restaurant than usual - Asha's, which is a very nice Indian restaurant, only minutes from where we usually meet. We had an excellent meal, which was a nice end to an era.
Another interesting part of the day was an organised fund-raising event for Action for Children - the Big Egg Hunt. I spotted the first of the Eggs as I was walking along New St and there were a mass of them outside the Council House in Victoria Square
( Some of the Eggs )
I didn't have time to take part, but there were quite a few happy children defying the bitterly cold weather to run around looking for the Eggs, and I really enjoyed seeing such an interesting and unusual way of raising money.
