I'm based in Manchester/London. Anvar's moved to Israel for a year, then probably New York, so he ain't going to be playing any LotR for a while! There's no LotR community that I know of in Manchester, but there used to be a very small one in London. In fact, one time there was a tournament and the only people that turned up was the organiser, me and Anvar! But I don't know whether they're still going - they used to play mainly Star Trek anyway.
I do have some friends that, while they never really collected, wouldn't mind playing!
