for days and weeks, there are the rumors and unofficial reports, unfortunately, finally received the official confirmation: this year the Hobbiton, annual celebration of Italian Tolkien Society not be held. The skinny
statement of the President of TSI states: Dear friends
Tolkien,
is with great regret that I must announce that this year will unfortunately not Hobbiton. The severe financial crisis and its funding cuts that we all know it did not allow us to raise money necessary for the realization of our great party.
We thank you all for your patience, for their support and for your affection all these years, and we promise that we will do everything possible to make next year Hobbiton come back more beautiful and richer than ever.
It's a shame, we might add, that the most popular meeting between Tolkien fans should stop in Italy, we hope that this is a temporary halt, and that next year you come back to Hobbiton there.
