PERIPATETIC FANS
Alan Stewart notes that Melbourne fan Lindsay Jamieson has moved to
Perth.
REPRODUCTIVE FANS
Karen Pender Gunn reports that Beky Tully had a premature baby boy,
Callum, on April 21. Beky wasn't well for a while but Callum is
doing well.
FAN FUNDS
Frances Papworth reports "Renaldo wishes to thank everyone for
their support during his reign as FFANZ administrator and announce
that he is passing the baton to:Ta Da Mr Paul EwinsCheer, cheer,
whistle, cat call. Renaldo mentions that while Paul may be over 4
inches tall, he is just as lovely as the woolly one himself.
Renaldo asks that he be excused so he can chase up Phil about the
final report for FFANZ 2000." Paul will attend Con d'Or, the 2000
New Zealand NatCon.
Karen Pender Gunn notes "The Ian Gunn Memorial fund will hold a
"weird-shit" video night at the MSFC on the 12th of May.Videos will
be a selection from the vast collection of Ian's and will include
some very strange stuff. It is a gold coin entry. I will have all
the stuff for sale from the Fund."
As reported in the previous BS, the GUFF candidates are Eric
Lindsay & Jean Weber vs Damien Warman and Juliette Woods. A ballot
form is available at http://www.vicnet.net.au/~sfoz/guff2001.htm.
Please note the bit about $A cheques and money orders being made
out to GUFF. Any cheques made out to KPG will be considered as
donations to the "Help Make Karen Pender Gunn a Rich Lady" Fund.
Swancon 2000
Traces of information are filtering out of Perth regarding Swancon
2000. No complete listings have found their way in my direction,
but Eidolon apparently received a Silver Swan, and John Samuel
received the Marg Hughes ("Mumfan") award.
Colin Sharpe posted a preliminary report which mentioned, among
other things, the following
"There were several book launches: Cheapass Games. 'Short Stories
for Short Attention Spans' was put together by our gratuitous
interstate guest Mitch. Paul Kidd launched several of his books
followed by the relaunch, or what was dubbed the wake by some, of
Ticonderoga's books." Colin also noted a Harper Collins launch and
an Eidolon launch, plus the launch of Swancon 26, so it appears
that the phrase "Let's do launch" was uttered on several occasions.
"The Masquerade was well attended this year, with some amazing
entries. The Darth Maul was particularly stunning, and deserves to
be seen by more folks than the people attending the con."
"Highlights of the Sunday were Garth Nix's GoH speech, the
traditional Doctor Who panel, the great debate, and the incredible
silliness that was Aaron Jacks' freeform 'Thumbmania'. The Awards
ceremony was delayed slightly by a technical hitch which gave rise
to an amazing rendition of 'And they called it science fiction' to
the tune of Greensleeves, sung by Dave Luckett and Grant Stone."
As noted in the previous BS, the Ditmars have been held over. Much
of the following information comes from a brief conversation with
Justin Ackroyd, who was at the business session and who is involved
in the Ditmar revamping. A group is thrashing out the categories
which, apparently, include three for Australian Fiction, with the
potential to amalgamate the two proposed short fiction Ditmars if
necessary. There will be an award for fan production, but no
specific fanzine award.
In addition another group is looking at a brand new constitution
for the Australian National Science Fiction Convention. Rohan
Wallace notes the following "The URL for the proposed constitution
of the natcons organisation (draft 1.1) is:
http://home.iprimus.com.au/rwvelocity/natcons/NSFCOconstitution2.htm
This version is slightly updated since the version seen by some at
Swancon. The constitution is open for discussion with a view to
providing a proposal for consideration at the 2001 natcon business
meeting.
I am happy to field questions/provide explanations. I also welcome
suggestions, although I am not proposing to mediate discussion. I
feel the appropriate forum for discussion is the natcons group, so
please join if you are interested and not a member. I am not a
member of the eidolist and therefore will not entertain discussion
there."
I rather like the bit that states "A member may be expelled from
NSFCO by resolution of the board where it appears that his conduct
has been detrimental to the objectives of NSFCO."
Those objectives are
To foster an appreciation of Science Fiction in Australia;
To coordinate and assist in the organizing of an annual national science fiction convention;
To coordinate national science fiction awards;
To raise funds for the achievement of the objectives; and
To co-operate with other groups with similar aims.
Okay let's see who can break all of those objectives first and thus
be the first person to be expelled from NSFCO! Ready...Set....Go!!!
(And please remind me not to read Heinlein novels before commenting
on verbose constitutions in future. I keep coming out of them with
the feeling that semantics means something...)
FREECON 00
Eric Lindsay passed on the following from Garry Dalrymple,
regarding the recent Sydney Freecon. "I estimate sixty plus people
attended on the Saturday and twenty plus people attended on Sunday
not that bad for two months effort and a date up against Swancon,
The Easter Show, The Sydney Triathlon and a rainy weekend.
Expenses were in the vicinity of $150 which were split three ways
between John August, David Bofinger and myself. We had seven
authors and a large number of panels and presentations of varying
impact. For the future it was generally agreed to repeat the
convention next year (probably earlier than mid April ) as well as
to try for another Freecon later this year.
One gauge of success of Freecon 00 is that an enlarged committee
stepped forward on Sunday to lend a hand for the next Freecons."

NATIONAL SCIENCE WEEK
National Science Week has produced a number of interesting items
with sf connections. Unfortunately I didn't get this information
until late in the piece, but some of it might still be useful.
Susan Batho reports " ScreenSound Australia, the National Film and
Sound Archive, is once again taking part in the Australian Science
Festival by celebrating a lighter aspect of science. For the past
three years, ScreenSound has presented classic science fiction
movies at their famous art deco theatre in Acton, always with an
underlying theme. This year presents five acknowledged classics of
science fiction cinema, each of which will be introduced by a
renowned science fiction aficionado, or by an expert in a field of
science which is covered by the film. There will be two screenings
of each movie, but bookings will still be essential.
