THE BURSAR'S COLUMN
The Chronicle has reached Issue Three,
and membership of the Convention has reached 500. Preparations are
accelerating towards September - with just six months until we gather
in Liverpool the finishing touches are already being put to the planned
events and the membership pack. We will soon start contacting those of
you who have volunteered to help out and giving you specific jobs for
the event. Those of you who haven't been in touch yet but want to
help - tell us now, so that we can find something for you to get
involved with.
This issue, we welcome a number of new subscribers to the
Chronicle. These are the people who cannot attend the
Convention itself but want to be kept in touch by receiving one of the
best sources of Discworld information and entertainment around. We all
hope that The Discworld Chronicle meets their needs.
More information about the programme and what to expect on the first
day of the Convention is included in this issue. We also have the
normal mixture of articles, reviews and puzzles. From the feedback we
have received about the magazine, we know you like it. But do you like
it enough to help fill it? As an incentive, we are offering the top
three contributors to Issue Four a free year's subscription to the
Chronicle, starting with the post-Convention issue.
Don't miss this chance to get involved with Discworld fandom! Write
or e-mail us with your news, reviews, gossip, problems and opinions -
if it's good enough, it will get into the finished magazine.
With this issue you
should have received forms for booking into the hotel and the Maskerade
Gala Dinner and for volunteering. The more observant among you will
note that the address for returning these forms is different from the
normal PO Box address. Due to some problems we were experiencing with
the Post Office we have taken steps to establish a permanent address
for the Convention. Our new home is:
Suite 35, 29 High Street, Romford, Essex RM1 1JL.
It's a bit cramped, but serves our purposes and won't be
changing for some time to come. The PO Box will remain active for
urgent mail, but its address will be changing in about four months. If
you are unsure of where to send something, your best bet is the new
address.
Take care, and we shall see you all in September!
