We're pleased to announce that the Society now has its own Facebook page.

Visit us at http://www.facebook.com/dwasonline to have the opportunity to enter a free competition complete with some nifty prizes.

Please note that the competition closes at 9pm on Tuesday 18th October, so hurry!

John Howe has sent the following email, and I think it very much sums up the general feeling within not only the Society, but also Fandom at large.

"Congratulations to Colin Baker on being named the new Honorary President of DWAS!

Colin has happily agreed that footage of his surprise appearance on Sunday can go on You Tube. The quality is not great (it was taken from the very back of the auditorium on a not particularly modern Canon Ixus), and the light tones of his jacket cause some flare, but the sound is good and it shows just what a great response he received on Sunday.

Following on from the poll which garnered your views, it was with great pleasure that Colin Baker accepted the post of Honorary President of the Society at the "Day of the Daleks" event yesterday afternoon. Colin received more votes than all the other candidates combined!

As the final CT of my tenure as Editor is now dropping through letterboxes, I just wanted to say thanks and farewell - CTwise anyway!

I hope you enjoyed reading the 36 issues that I've had the pleasure of producing and, like you, I'm looking forward to seeing what Grant Bull is going to bring us. I have no doubt that it will be excellent.

With very best wishes,

Tony

.......that Tom Baker regenerated into Peter Davison. I find that extremely scary!

Martin Holmes has sent us this lovely poem.

CHAP WITH WINGS (FOR MR COURTNEY)

Not that I ever met you
But I hear you were a gent
A fine, upstanding gentle man,
And Honorary President.

A known face on the T.V.
With a life of many parts
Then a troubled space agent
Brought you closer to our hearts

But the one I most remember
Carved in my youthful mind
