Okay, guys. So most of you know that I've had some changes in my
personal life, which put me back in South Yorkshire for the
foreseeable. There was some talk (not mooted by me, I might hastily
add) of meeting a second time a month in Manchester (which is easier
for me to get to).

In other news, the next meeting (for the rest of you) should be on
the third. Someone will need to give the landlord (whose name escapes
me) a list of the dates of the first Wednesday of the month, to avoid
another double-booking.

Thirdly, Kev has stated a disinterest in organising the next
convention. This leaves the slot open to an individual or committee
to do it in his stead. There are a number in the coming year,
including one which advertises Tom Baker's attendance. '10th
Planet', 'Dimensions' and 'Who At the Cavern' are three names worth
Googling.

Lastly, for those of you who are interested, the girl who contacted
me on Second Life in the middle of next year has expressed a desire
to attend the next meeting. If she does, at least pretend you're not
lecherous geeks and be welcoming.

That's all. I hope to see some of you at some point in the new year,
but as this pretty much puts an end to my coming to the regular
meetings indefinitely, I want to say that it's been a pleasure, and
it's one of the things I'll miss most about Preston.

Big D, Quaffer Extraordinaire.
