But unfortunately, these are uncertain times. With the world migration in place and frankly not going as smooth as hoped, the Hobbits are now divided between "Meriadoc" and  "Laurelin". That is: if you are lucky! When you sign up to be transferred they keep you on neither world for a long time!

But March 17th is still a week from now at the time of writing this. We are hoping everyone who wants to move, will have made it across by then.

So we are planning a Celebration like previous years, but now on Meriadoc. It will likely be not as big as previous years, since after moving many of you will still  be busy finding a new burrow and decorating it. But what a great way to relax from all that by having a party!

So we want to go ahead anyway, for what would March 17th be without a gathering in Brockenborings at the the foot of the Bullroarer statue (hopefully they won't forget to pack the statue!)

We have already asked the Greenbrambles and the Bullroarers to play music, so let's hope they will all make it across safely.

But we also would like to invite other musicians, whether in small or big bands or solo, to sign up to play. We would also appreciate any poets or storytellers to sign up as well. 

But do sign up to make it easier to plan the evening. Send a letter to the editors@brambleburygazette.com Thank you in advance. Allocated play time, as in previous years, will depend on how many of you will sign up.

As we will be a much larger community on Meriadoc, comprised of Hobbits from different worlds where also other languages are spoken, we'd like to invite them as well and make them feel welcome on the 17th.

What: Bullroarer Took Day Celbration

Where: Brockenborings

When: March 17th, starting 19:30 ((UK time))

((OOC: The Gazette will not make a habit of this, but here is a short invitation in the other languages:

Guten Tag, 

Auf dem Laurelin-Server haben wir am 17. März immer den Bulenrassler Tuk-Tag ((am St. Patricks Day)) gefeiert. Vielleicht haben Sirannon und Belegaer das auch getan? Auch Spieler aus diesen Welten sind herzlich willkommen und können sich gerne anmelden, um zum Thema zu musizieren oder Gedichte oder Geschichten vorzutragen. Bitte registrieren Sie sich per E-Mail an editors@brambleburygazette.com 

Bonne journée, 

Sur le serveur Laurelin, nous célébrons toujours le jour de Bandobras "Taureau Mugissant" Touque ((le jour de la Saint-Patrick)) le 17 mars. Peut-être que Sirannon et Belegaer ont fait ça aussi ? Les joueurs de ces mondes sont également les bienvenus et peuvent s'inscrire pour venir faire de la musique ou réciter des poèmes ou des histoires sur le thème. Veuillez vous inscrire en envoyant un e-mail à editors@brambleburygazette.com   ))
