Toronto Gathering urgently needs more attendees
The Gathering of the Fellowship in Toronto (1st-4th July) needs more support from Tolkien fans. While the organizers have heard nothing but “good “buzz” and enthusiasm from fans” registrations for the event have not sold. To date only 300 have registered and the event is in danger of not happening at all.
You can find out more about the event and register here.

It’ll be so sad if this event doesn’t happen. I hope it gets all the necessary funds!
I really wish I could go!
But I’m going to be in Europe so it’s not really possible for me to be there. 🙁
And it sucks because I’m going to be out of country for the one convention I’m actually within driving distance of!
I hope more people sign up for the Gathering! I’ll tell all of my friends who might be interested!
I too really hope this will be held… I wish I could participate but Toronto is far away from Denmark, and I don’t have the money for the plane ticket…:(
I’d love to go, but I really can’t make it to Toronto.
I’d love to go–but not at the prices posted on the Gathering’s website. I’m in the U.S., on the East Coast, and no more than a day’s drive from Toronto, but my husband and I just can’t afford those prices–plus the gas needed to get up and back, even though we wouldn’t use the car in Canada. I mean, we’ve got bills to pay and can barely meet them, much less afford a “big” convention. I really hope the Gathering can hang on until we are rich enough to come to a Gathering, but it won’t be this year.
I didn’t even know this was happening until I saw the “help!” article above. I usually just go right to my forum.
I really hope they can pull it off. Have added myself and my son to the list of attendees, since we’ll be in the area anyway. I hope it helps. How cool is it to have a Tolkien Gathering nearby?!
I’m sure it did Neenime because the gathering sent out an email a few days ago saying the convention is still on :). Of course, the con’s site hasn’t been updated with the info yet… but trust me, they’re going ahead with it.
woowoo!…not woowoo they need help,but woowoo the fact that my sister (Gilraen) and I ,Luthien……will be going!!
I’m going on the 3rd,so if anyone is,pm me!
