Wouldn't be much of a "moot" if it was just you :)
Well, there are a few strange people in the room with me, including Garm and, I think , Trotter

I agree we are both strange people and were in the room with you.
John Garth's talk today was excellent, and he has produced a booklet called Tolkien at Exeter College, which has a lot of previously unpublished material, pictures and Tolkien manuscript pages from just before WW1.
You may also want to have a look at Longfellow's Hiawatha in relation to a certain bird and the death of a dragon from one of Tolkien's books.
The booklet is mentioned on John's website, and I will try to find out how interested members can buy a copy from John and post here.

Still trying to find out where to get copies, and I have been told that it is limited to 100 copies (about two thirds of these have already been sold).
John Garth and Malcolm Lindley (who was selling them at Oxonmoot) are both on Facebook, for those of us who have accounts there. John has a website at www.johngarth.co.uk
