A GOODBYE TO ALAN AND JENNIE

Regular attendees at the Weird Weekend will be sad to hear that Alan and Jennie Lindsay, the landlord and landlady of The Farmers Arms, where the Weird Weekend dinner has been held for the past five years, have left the village. They now own Robin's Nest at Bideford Football Club, whereas the village pub has been taken over by Dave and Eve. Good luck to all of you!

Early indications are that our jolly good relationship with the pub will continue as far as the WW is concerned, as will our practise of boarding our fishtanks there.

PARANORMAL REQUEST

Guys,

If anyone has a copy of Paranormal magazine with the article about the Weird Weekend, or indeed the big spread that appeared about it in the North Devon Journal, can they please send me a scan....

RICHARD FREEMAN: White yeti query..

Dale, could you give me some details please? I have never come across a single report of a white yeti (I have just completed a hefty list for the History Channel of all the yeti sightings that I could find, and all describe a dark-furred animal). The sasquatch and the almasty are the only ones I can recall that have occasionally been reported as sporting white fur.

I WISH THEY ALL COULD BE CALIFORNIA MOTHS

ROBERT SCHNECK: Your costume sucks



As might be expected, the protean el chupacabras has inspired a
variety of costumes including:

JON ISN'T WELL, HE STAYED BACK AT THE HOTEL...

Just a head's up to anyone who is trying to get in touch with me at the moment. The last few months of stress and general unpleasantness have been too much for me and I am having another bout of my illness. I will be at Uncon this coming weekend but I shall be taking it relatively easy if I can. Yesterday I had to pull the plug on a project that was actually quite dear to me, purely because of the amount of stress it was causing, and I don't want to lose any others, so forgive me if I keep a low profile for a bit. (From previous experience, the `bit` may be as short as a couple of days, or it may be longer - time will tell).
