--------------------
The next Get-Up-and-over Fan Fund is now open for nominations. If you know what this means, are an Australasian fan, and have a desire to attend the sixtieth British Eastercon, LX, then you need to contact me (dmw). You'll need to find three nominators in Australasia, two nominators in Europe, and send me a 100 word platform and an AUD25 bond.

Nominations will close on or around 8 September, and ballots will be immediately distributed. Voting will run until shortly after Novacon.

Please disseminate widely.

As some of you know, I was really keen to run for this. However, I'm just not up for it - the occasional weekend across the Tasman is all I'm good for at the moment. So instead, I'd encourage people to think about it - either as a candidate or simply by supporting the fund.

I am relieved that you're not running as I'm planning on running and you're too good as the competition goes :)

Ahhh flattery - my #1 weakness. :)

Glad to hear you are going for it - good luck. I'm sure Damien will be happy that there is interest.

Will we get to see you at the Adelaide Natcon next year, though...? (I should perhaps be clear that we will be making this easier by being there ourselves.)

I have every intention of being there.

You guys do realise, I hope, that the NZ natcon (http://www.conscription.sf.org.nz/ConScription/) is the weekend before Conjecture and there are direct flights from Auckland to Adelaide.

Not that I'm hinting or anything. :)

What a shame. There will be another chance and by then I will a voter not an administrator!

Thank you - good positive thoughts like that are just what I need.
