The TAFF administrators have decided to extend the deadline for the current race until Tuesday, 26 April. This will enable ballot forms to be handed in at Illustrious, this year's UK Eastercon, and also gives online voters using PayPal facility an extra six weeks to cast their digital ballot. Ballot forms and more information are available on the TAFF website. |

As part of updating the website, and uploading the old newsletters, we realised that we haven't published any detailed accounts recently (although summaries have been in recent newsletters). So, here they are. Please let us know if you have any queries. We should also announce that we're very pleased to have co-opted former-GUFF-delegate Ang Rosin to help out with the LFF, so we're now four scary women, not three! |

Issue 8 of the LFF's newsletter was handed out at Eastercon, and is now also available here, in both high- and low-quality versions. |
