    We discussed getting the OFH Updates back on track. We are planning to have them fortnightly, so make sure that you let your RSA know of anything we can add!

    We have also had quite a fierce debate on what to do with chapters not having 3 meets a year. In the past, chapters were moved to "inactive". However, we don't think that that is in the best interests for the future of the chapter if someone wants to get it started again. We'd like to encourage online discussions and chats, as well as meet-ups. So in the future, if a chapter doesn't meet-up, then the CR will be demoted, but the chapter will stay open.

    Leading on from that, we are now discussing in more detail what the role of a CR should be.

    On a lighter note (literally), the post-Xmas blues is kicking in, and several RSAs (mentioning no names) have vowed to go on a diet, with targets ranging from a couple of pounds to....well, a little bit more :p

    halibut, on the other hand, is looking forward to Christmas this year as he's going on holiday



    FF-UK

    This year will see new episodes of Red Dwarf being shown. This has caused a bit of a stir as many of the UK posse felt the show got worse in its later seasons. Will it stop them from watching them and moaning? Will it smeg! Thread here

    LadyPoison has announced her intention to leave the South and defect to the North. The South's loss is the North's gain.

    Oceania

    SAFF is doing the Relay For Life again this year in May - fourth year now. Two teams of 10 in each, minimum of $2000 raised for the Cancer Council of Australia. Themed camp of Hoth, and most costumes to fit with the theme. They have raised over $10,000 in the past, and they expect this year to put it over $14,000.

    The Series of Supa Nova Conventions are coming up in March/April...and generally members from various FF make their way there, generally attached the 501st, or Novus Ordo (SW Costuming group).

    We are all hoping and praying for any FF-ers who have been affected by the recent fires. :(

    German Speaking Fan Force
