Sigh! I finally get round to posting something to TML Nightly(Not!), and I
find that the real thing is up and running again!
For anyone who's already seen this, I apologise:-

Duncan Law-Green, founder member of HIWG(UK), at your service!
To paraphrase Mark Twain, the reports of HIWG(UK)'s death have been greatly
exaggerated! Although we aren't *quite* as active as we once were, we
still have several members interested in making a contribution to the
future of Traveller.
The group is not, and never was "STarport" --- the STarport
newsletter, although now temporarily shelved, only formed a small part
of our activities. The main part of our creative effort has been
directed towards the fanzine *Signal GK*, set in the Dagudashaag
Sector, a quarterly 'zine with over forty pages of adventuring and
background material each issue. Issue #6 should be out sometime
around February.
In addition, Mike Mikesh of Imperial Lines has asked us if we would be
interested in helping with the development of a New Era "pocket
empire". Though the details have yet to be decided, it would certainly
be possible for UK Travellers to have a significant impact on the
shape of New Era.
UK TMLer's out there! Are you interested? Adie Stewart is
co-ordinating the next stage in HIWG(UK)'s activities, and he can be
contacted at:-

Jae Campbell is the Signal GK Distributor, and he *may* still have a
few copies of GK#5 left:-

One last thing. PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL QUESTIONS TO ME, at least, not until
mid-January, as I'm taking a month's Christmas holiday, starting tomorrow!
******************* MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! ********************

Jim --
Could you remove me from the TML mailing list until Jan. 15th? The system
manager here's about 7ft tall, and built like a brick outhouse, and I
*really* wouldn't want to make him mad by flooding my mailbox!
Thanks
Duncan

Twinkle, twinkle little star,
I know exactly what you are,
You're nothing but a ball of gas,
And all the while you're losing mass...
