At least I can get caught up and feel a bit more involved.

I last went to a Worldcon, for a flying day visit, to Glasgow in 2005. I always said if it came back to the UK I would go properly. I've had voting rights ever since, as a supporting member, but this is my first year for ages when I will be there. Really looking forward to it.Vivienne Dunstanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16785909205530722996noreply@blogger.com
