November 1999
It's purely accidental, of course, but it looks like GUFFaw is beginning to shape up as a quarterly. Which is as much of a surprise to me as it is to anyone else. Still, when you get contributors like Bruce Gillespie and Irwin Hirsh, you can't complain. And at least it has spurred me on to start writing my own GUFF report.
And this fanzine is also beginning to serve its other purpose, as a newsletter. Karen and I are announcing the start of the next GUFF race, from Australia to Europe. Next time round I trust we'll be announcing the candidates. And I'm hoping to feature something by each candidate in future issues of GUFFaw.
We're also after your money, of course. GUFF wouldn't survive without the generosity of fans. There will be a fan fund auction at Novacon. where I will (with luck) be distributing this fanzine, and I'll also have copies of Karen and Ian's trip report for sale, so remember our catch phrase: give generously, give often.
Eve said Australia is addictive. She was right. So now it's time for me to start dreaming of my next trip. Until next time...
GUFF News
G'ready, G'set, GUFF
The next GUFF race is now open.
Nominations are open until Friday 14th April 2000, and the race will then run from Easter until November. The winner will attend the 2001 Eastercon in Britain.
If you want to stand in this GUFF race, here's what you do:
- You need five nominees, three from Australia and two from Europe.
- You need a platform of no more than 100 words.
- You need to post a bond of A$20
Then campaign like mad in order to set out on one of fandom's great adventures.
