DAVE LANGFORD WINS TAFF!

Receiving 83 of the 124 first-place votes cast, Dave Langford was chosen as the Trans-Atlantic Fan Fund delegate to the 1980 Worldcon in Boston. Jim Barker came in second with 38 of the first-place votes. Dave got a clear majority of the votes cast in both the North American and European balloting and is, therefore, the clear winner.

The breakdown of this year's voting is as follows:

	North America	Europe	Total
Dave Langford	44	39	83
Jim Barker	15	23	38
Hold Over Funds	1	1	2
Norman Shorrock (write-in)	0	1	1
total votes cast	60	64	124

While it is still too early to take any action, I want to remind you that it won't be too many months before nominations will be open for the 1981 TAFF delegate. This North American fan will attend the 1981 Eastercon in Britain. Any North American fan choosing to stand must have three (3) North American nominators and two (2) European nominators. Details with regard to dates and so forth will be released at a later time.

To return to this year's TAFF election, I would like to thank all of you for voting, but I want to extend a special thank you to Joyce Scrivner and jan howard finder for the enormous amount of work each has done to benefit TAFF during the past year. Joyce and jan, your help has been greatly appreciated.

Congratulations, Dave!
