The GOING UNDER FAN FUND 1981, GUFF 2, is administered in Australia by John Foyster, 21 Shakespeare Grove, St Kilda, Victoria 3182, Australia, and in the United Kingdom by Rob Jackson, 8 Lavender Road, West Ewell, Epsom, Surrey KT19 9EB, UK.
NOMINATIONS
The closing date for nominations has been set back to 31 August 1980. Nominees require the support of three fans from the UK, two from Australia, a 100 word platform, and they must post a bond with one of the administrators. If you require further information please contact the nearest administrator. (Several nominations are now being completed.)
VOTING
Voting will close on 31 January, to allow the winner sufficient time to plan the trip to Adelaide for the National SF Convention, to be held at the Oberoi Hotel from June 13 to June 15, 1981. Voters pay a fee, and this constitutes one source of income for the fund.
MONEY
GUFF 2 is going to require very nearly $2000, and of this almost half has already been raised. Donations, whether in cash or in material which can be auctioned, are invited, welcomed, pleaded for, and so on. (You could also consider donating subs to your fanzine, or part thereof, to GUFF 2. Rob Jackson is doing this with some of his material; subs to Chunder! will, until June 81, go direct to GUFF in the name of the subber.) The rest of this page is devoted to details of the first GUFF Postal Auction.
POSTAL AUCTION
You are invited to send to John Foyster bids on the following items. On August 1 all those who have bid on any item will be advised of the high bid on all items. They will have until August 16 to lodge their final bids. Postage will be included in the bid, where necessary. The dates make it difficult for readers outside Australia to get involved, That's a time problem; sorry.
