Unfortunately I cannot attend this this year. I would very much like to see the Tengwar workshop to see how accurate the teachings are. Anything by Shire Productions is worth seeing.
Zainab is the person who teaches Sindarin to school pupils and was in the news quite a bit.
If I remember rightly, there are Sarehole Mill Brown Signs around Birmingham to help people find their way around.
