THE BURSAR'S COLUMN
Hello out
there! Nice to see you all again, and a big "hello!" to those
who are new to all this Discworld Convention lark. Oh, by the way, I
like what you've done with the wallpaper - very tasteful. Yes, just
the right shade of purple. Anyway, to business: the Discworld
Convention 1998 is less than eighteen months away, so it's time we
told you what to expect. I know it seems like an eternity to wait, but
believe me, September 1998 and the premier Discworld event will soon be
looming larger than life.
This is the first issue of the Discworld Chronicle, the
new magazine of the Discworld Convention. It contains Convention news
and information, and Discworld-related news, reviews and entertainment.
Each issue will feature important information about, and booking forms
for, the Convention's many events.
Following the first Discworld Convention many of you wrote and told
us that you liked the Ankh-Morpork Interesting Times so
much that you thought it should continue to be published. Issue Six of
the Ankh-Morpork Interesting Times was, I'm afraid,
the last publication of the Discworld Convention 1996. One or two
copies are still available, so if you haven't received it, send a
couple of second class stamps and a self-addressed envelope to the
Convention's address and, while stocks last, we will send you an
A-MIT.
But, from now on, the Discworld Chronicle will be
providing all that the discerning fan could want in a magazine until
the Convention in 1998. After that? Well, we'll just have to wait
and see...
Even if you will not be attending the Convention, the
Discworld Chronicle is a valuable source of regular
information and entertainment. It will be published every three or four
months to keep you fully informed and, as we draw nearer to the event,
let you know what spectacular items are planned.
So enjoy the magazine, and let us know what you think. If there is
anything you would like to see at the Convention or in the magazine,
drop us a line and we will endeavour to provide whatever it is to the
best of our abilities.
We already have an exciting stock of new ideas for the programme, as
well as some old favourites. As always, the Convention wants you to get
involved, so if you can assist in any way, whether at the event or
before, please drop us a line.
