Every first Thursday
Regular meetings are held the first Thursday of every month, at 7:00 pm at the Murray Borders, second floor meeting area by the music desk. Each meeting consists of a discussion about Tolkien's works, listening to a piece of music or poetry inspired by Tolkien, and plenty of fellowship.

Our Course study for 2007 will be The Annotated Hobbit.  While some people dismiss The Hobbit as a mere children’s story (especially when compared to Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, in truth this story is a masterpiece of fantasy.  This year we will study and discuss the following: Good vs. Evil, Fate & Chance, Friendship, Death and War, The Psychological Journey of Bilbo Baggins, Themes & Characters, Social Sensitivity, The Culture of “The Quest” and The Nature of the Hero.
