We have a new update from Graham Joyce on the BFS website. It fixes the date and place of the EGM at 6.00pm on Friday 9 December at The Mugs Place, under Tower Bridge in London. There’s an Open Evening scheduled for 7:30pm in the same location, so presumably they think the EGM won’t take long.

On the subject of awards, Graham says he has received a lot of input, and:

I will sift, consult and explore all ideas. I will then form a small working-group to come back with a recommendation. Any new system will be honour-bound to deal with the current Fantasy-Horror imbalance.

Hmm.

Meanwhile, on the BFS Forums, Lee Harris has announced that he will stand for the post of Chair. And Paul Cornell says he’ll be standing for the post of Awards Administrator.
