Announce: guest announcement

It is with a heavy heart and a lack of snuff up our noses that we must
announce that Bernard Pearson, the Cunning Artificer himself, will be
unable to join us at the 2012 Discworld Convention.

Due to recent surgery and a very badly timed fall, Bernard is under
doctor's orders to rest, rest, rest. He is, as you might imagine, very
unhappy about this turn of events. Not only will he miss seeing all of
his old and new friends, but he won't be able to join us all in the
bar!

The Committee are working with Bernard to make sure that the
Convention is not *wholly* free of his influence and presence and Ian
Mitchell & Reb Voyce will be shouldering some extra load.
Unfortunately this does mean that any signings, Klatches or other
events that relied wholly on Bernard will have to be cancelled.

We all wish him our best and we will be arranging a "Get Well" card of
sorts to which all of our members may contribute. The Con will not be
the same without Bernard, but he has pledged to be back in the future
and we know he'd be bloody annoyed if we didn't have a great time
without him!

It had better be a bloody big card if there's going to be space for all the signatures!

We'll just let everybody sign in a book the size of the Octavo and tape the card to that.

Who's going to tell us to "piss off"?

Bernard won an award at the Irish Con for being the best child star there.

Looking forward to signing the card.
