Last year's festival has been a great success. Smaller than RingCon, the FF offered a family-like atmosphere and gave the guests more opportunities to walk around (add: hop on other people's back to use them as warhorses...did I hear someone mention Rosinante?).

This second festival possesses last year's experiences and publicity. So we can expect more people and less 'problems' (of which most of us had little enough).

Mark and Craig agreed to act as MCs again. Moreover, Mark has prepared something special for us. Here comes a quote from the festival's official newsletter:

"...our talented co-host, Mark Ferguson (Gil-Galad) has organised some brand new entertainment performed exclusively by our LOTR guests attending The Festival, you are going to love this!
Following on from the hilarious “radio play” performed at the last Festival by Craig Parker (Haldir) and other LOTR actors attending, we have another treat for you. Mark is in the middle of writing a brand new game show, called “Ring Wars” which will be performed exclusively for you at The Fellowship Festival in August. This is what Mark has told us what he has in store for you

RING WARS
STARS OF MIDDLE EARTH FACE EACH OTHER ON THE BATTLE-FIELD OF THE 21ST CENTURY.... THE GAME SHOW! Two teams of Lord of the Rings guests pit their skills against each other and the clock to find out if they are true Tolkien experts.... or just bimbo actors.
Round 1: Battle of the Mind
Round 2: Battle of the Skills
Round 3: Battle of the Talents
Who will win? Only the audience can decide. The future of Middle Earth is in your hands."

Sounds good, eh? Hope to see many of you at the Fellowship Festival 2005!
