GUFF (Going Up-and-over/Under Fan Fund) Winners

The original of this page was from AUSTRALIAN FAN FUNDS Version 1.0, 23rd August 1995 by Marc Ortlieb and Irwin Hirsh, collated by Perry Middlemiss. It has been updated by Jean Weber and Eric Lindsay, most recently in February 2010. We have drawn heavily upon Irwin Hirsh's material at his Australian Fan Funds site and thank him profusely for maintaining such a good resource.

GUFF

Modelled on DUFF and TAFF. Motivated partly by Chris Priest's visit to Australia and by the British 1979 Worldcon. Originally intended as a one-off for Seacon, administered by Leigh Edmonds and Dave Langford.
