[LAURELIN, EVENT, SOCIAL] 31 DEC New Year Party – all timezones

[Ranatuor_Erutron]

31 DEC 2019 to 01 JAN 2020: See in the New Year!
Various times – every hour a timezone hits 12am

I aim to repeat last year's marathon of seeing in the New Year in every timezone. We had people playing music, dancing, gift-giving and fireworks last year. I Hope to do the same this year. All welcome. RP-lite.

More details to follow (watch for edits/updates)…

I'll be running two events in LOTRO after Christmas/Boxing Day. The other one is -

3 JAN 2020: annual Tolkien Toast
Celebrating Tolkien's birthday. Aiming for a 7.30pm UK (server time incoming) start at the Bird and Baby, Michel Delving) leading to a search for the great man himself somewhere out in the wilds. All welcome. RP-lite.
