1999 TAFF Race Opens

The 1999 TAFF race from the US to Europe begins

The 1999 TAFF race from the US to the UK has now begun, as nominations have closed and two candidates have been nominated.

Vijay Bowen and Sarah Prince are running, and the winner will attend next year's Eastercon, Reconvene. We at Plokta Enterprises may be deemed to be biassed, as Plokta co-supremo Alison Scott is one of Vijay's nominators. On the other hand, Plokta co-supremo Steve Davies is one of Sarah's nominators, so perhaps we can remain relatively impartial. Vijay is notable for two reasons; she is the only person who trades Plokta for pictures of herself in leather gear, and she is the only person anyone in Britain has ever actually met called Velma.

We look forward to seeing the winner at next year's Eastercon.
