The One Room Fan Museum turns One!



Greetings Welly-Mooters. Kathy here on my first post, courtesy of Jack. I’m inviting you all to join me in celebrating the one-year birthday of The One Room Fan Museum.

You’re welcome to join me by going in costume to the 1pm screening of ROTK at the Roxy. I have pre-bought 9 tickets (and one for me) – first in first served - let me know. Meet at the Museum at 11 for morning tea and robing (happy to provide costumes if you don’t have your own), and on to the Roxy by 1pm.

Then, from 6pm (or once we get home from the Roxy), there will be a bit of a party to toast the Museum’s birthday. You’re welcome just to come to the party if you prefer.

And if you can’t make it, just raise your glass to the Museum at the same time as you wish happy birthday to Bilbo and Frodo.

Best wishes, all Kathy

General update

As some of you may know, I've gone back to full-time studying this year, and as a result I'm finding that I'm not able to dedicate as much time as I would like to Welly-moot. I have been looking for a way to alleviate this, and I think a solution has been staring me in the face for a while.

At the last meetup, the Welly-moot paid a visit to Kathy, who owns and runs Wellington's newest museum, The One Room LOTR Fan-museum. Her and I have been in talks about the direction of Welly-moot, and she's able to dedicate a lot more of her time than I currently can.

As a solution, Kathy is going to be doing some of the updates here for a while. We're hoping to organise a few more meetings as well, and there is one very cool event coming up - the Roxy is once again showing the LOTR trilogy, in less than a month from now, in fact. Yes, they're the Extended editions.

Kathy has been busy making costumes, and proposes that we all turn up as a group, and in costumes (she has spares, if anyone needs one). What do you all think? Sounds like something we can be part of? Of course it does!
