GUFF!
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. 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.

Let me know if you want help out here in the far flung eastern border islands of Australasia. I'm happy to distribute ballots etc to the locals.

Thanks, will take you up on this. Also need to coordinate with you re Auckland/Adelaide and next years respective national conventions...

Am sorry you aren't planning on standing, but maybe people will twist your arm via the internet.

Drop me a line at mittsusaru at gmail dot com for distribution or Conscription discussion. The next meeting of the Wellington based club is on the 10th sept, so I'll stand up and let people know then or alternatively get a notice in the club magazine which goes out a day or two beforehand.

Sadly the problem about running is my ability to take any sort of extended trip - not the desire to go. So twisting my arm will just give me a sore arm.

(a) thanks, will do
(b) oh right, yes, sorry :-( as Ang said, there's always a later trip (roughly scheduling for 2011/2012, depending on Olympics etc, but that will be up to the winner of this race to decide...)

If I want to nominate someone else, do I tell you or do I give my name to them and they add it to their application?

Either/or: they'll need to confirm that they are standing, and you'll need to confirm with me that you are nominating them. The traditional order was that you nominated and they humbly accepted the nomination, but as far as I can tell that broke down sometime around 1977.

Best of all would be if, after you nominated them, they then nominated you. Britain is lovely at Easter, and if it rains you can go to a convention...
