Hey everyone-no new Who this week on SciFi due to the Labor Day movie marathon weekend (and the Stargate SG:1 viewers choice marathon) So with school getting under way in various parts, I thought we could enjoy a bit of a refresher course on Classic Who:
There will be a quiz after... ;) LOL
Enjoy!!!

Meeting of the Timelords, the lowdown
Hey everyone! First, my apologies for the delay in getting this up. I had the pictures uploaded about a week ago, and I just won't get into writing any excuses for not typing this up earlier. ;)
Second, I'd like to give a big Thank You! to John T. of Ohio Type 40 for sending me the pics and allowing me to use his summary of the day in this post. :)

from John:
Daleks guarding the entrance
"Chris and I had the pleasure of attending The Doctor Who Columbus
event "Meeting of the Timelords". What a great time. We got a chance
to meet members from 3 other Doctor Who groups, and feel that we have
put in our part to strengthen the bond between 4 Ohio based Doctor
Who groups.
"We had lunch shortly after we arrived, which was a pretty simple pot-
luck style. Jarrod was manning the grill flipping burgers and cooking
the hot dogs. This was the time where we really got a chance to meet
other fans. I've learned in the past that Doctor Who and food go
together very well.
"After lunch, the entire group (I'm guessing
around 30 or so) sat down, and went over a number of key points.
Topics discussed ranged from membership recruitment, convention
rideshares, and the effort needed to bring Doctor Who back to other
PBS stations.
"Many other topics were discussed, and a lot of great feedback came
from all groups in attendance."
Sounds like everyone had a fantastic time!!! As I said earlier, I'm really sorry I couldn't make it-hopefully I'll be able to make the next big event!
If anyone else would like to share their pictures and stories here at the Idiot's Lantern, please feel free to drop me a line!!!
Thanks!!!

Outpost Gallifrey coming to an end
Perhaps some of us saw it coming, perhaps some of us didn't. Whatever the case may be, it looks like Outpost Gallifrey will be coming to an end as we know it very soon.
Some of you may recall Shaun Lyon (editor of Outpost Gallifrey) tried to end the site last year, but due to popular demand, and volunteer editors, he decided to keep it up and running. However, he no longer has the time and energy to run the site.
Rather than coming to a complete end, the four aspects of the site will branch out into new sites to be run by the folks who are helping Shaun run Outpost now:
DoctorWhoNews.com will be the new news site-Outpost's most popular feature.
The current Outpost Gallifrey forum will become doctorwhoforum.com
gallifreyone.com will remain as the primary location for the Gallifrey One conventions.
And last, but certainly not least, the Webguide to Doctor Who will be relocated to doctorwhowebguide.com.
Once these sites become live, I will update the links on our sidebar.
You can read more about the site ending in detail on OG's main page, www.gallifreyone.com.

More on the Scarifyers
Since I am sure I did them an injustice in my description from my last post, I wanted to share with you what was said about the Scarifyers in my BBC7 newsletter:
From BBC7:
"Scarifyers is a new series to BBC 7, and this is its first transmission on radio. To whet your appetite., I can do no better than to include this message from the writer of the series, Simon Barnard, who initially approached me with the project:
"The idea was to combine the Doctor Who 'UNIT' stories from the '70s with Quatermass, but make it faster, funnier and more accessible for a modern audience. The first Scarifyers story tells the tale of how Lionheart and Dunning first meet, and eventually form top-secret government dept MI-13. - It stars Nicholas Courtney ( Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart in Doctor Who.) The entire play was written for Nicholas, so it was very lucky he liked the script! He plays septugenarian crime-fighter Inspector Lionheart, a Bulldog Drummond-style fists-do-the-talking hero. Terry Molloy (The Archers) provides support as Professor Dunning. Dunning takes his name from the central character in M.R. James 'Casting the Runes,' and Dunning is kind of based upon James.
The play opens with him reading his students a ghost story at Christmas, for example. The difference is that Prof. Dunning is actually the world's worst horror author.. -Scarifyers is set in the 1930s because that was such a rich period for supernatural goings-on. The inter-war period was rife with spiritualism. Satanist Aleister Crowley was making headlines, Harry Price (the 'Ghost Detective') was conducting experiments into the supernatural and people actually believed this stuff. If you're going to write a supernatural series, then the 1930s is when to set it.""
additional note from me: of course, we all know Terry Molloy as Davros from the later Dalek stories.
Check them out! I listened to their Christmas special, the Yule Lads and quite enjoyed it. I can't wait to listen to the Nazad Conspiracy! :)

More party ideas
Hey there-I hope everyone is managing to stay cool! The 18th is almost here!!!
Mreen brought up an interesting idea, and I must apologize to her for not mentioning it in the blog earlier. (I'm sorry, Mreen!) She suggested having a swap table for trading and buying Doctor Who DVDs, CDs, and perhaps other Doctor Who related items as well. I think it's a great idea-what better way to find that one-of a kind, hard to find item that you've been looking for everywhere, then from a fellow fan who might just happened to have one? ;)
Interested? Let us know!!! :)

Meeting of the Ohio Timelords! Update #3
Hey guys!!! The big all-Ohio Who bash is THIS SATURDAY!!!!
Here's a third update from Andrew!!!:
Is everyone excited?!!?
You should be!
We're going to have a great time at the August Cookout Party and
Meeting of the Timelords.
Right now the Weather channel is predicting 85° and partly cloudy, so
it should be nicer than it has been this week, (knock on wood)
We're still looking for some help in food, so if you're able to help
please do. Or if you can think of something else to bring, like DALEK
shaped cookies? then please let us know.
Right now we'd like to have some of the following:
Potato Chips/ Tortilla Chips
Brownies
Cookies
Crackers
Veggie Tray
Potato Salad
Fresh Salad (Lettuce etc..)
Pop Cans- Regular (coke/pepsi etc.)
Pop Cans- Other (mt. dew/sprite etc.)
Bottled Water
Please forward us your drink preferences on pop, and we'll make sure to
let the volunteers know.
Also, if you have any games, card, board, lawn, or otherwise please
help us out.
After looking around the neighborhood I found out I moved across the
street from a hidden park and unknown beach volleyball court too! If
you're interested we can play volleyball.
If you are bringing children, give us their ages and genders so we can
have appropriate activities and prizes =-)
We're also still looking for more folding or lawn chairs for the
backyard, and folding tables, please contact Jarrod if you have one and want to have him help bring it over this week.
Remember, if you are able, please come by on Friday evening to help
with the set-up. This event can be all the better if we all pitch in
and help each other. :)
Also, if you are planning on bringing anything non-perishible, and are
going to be helping set-up on Friday evening, bring it along then, so
we'll be ready for the big day.
The set-up will be on Friday August 17th starting at 6pm and ending
when we're all done!
The main event starts on Saturday August 18th at Noon, and will
continue as long as we like! :)
Directions to the event, plus contact numbers/email for Andrew, Jarrod and the DWC should be posted in your local area Doctor Who Yahoo group, so be sure to check back there for more information!!! Thanks!!!

animated adventure starring David Tennant as the Doctor, it's great
for kids and adults. Also Curse of the Fatal Death, a great Dr Who
spoof written by new series writer Steven Moffat. We will have 3
seasons worth of Dead Ringers sci-fi skits, and some of the funniest
sketches from the Dr Who DVD's, and elsewhere.
Also, the Molyneux Mix, which includes several music clips videos and
funny clips put together 10 years before Youtube made it popular!
Of course we will be having the cookout too, and are looking for
potluck donations to make it great for everyone. Details on our needs
will be posted later in a group poll.
We are also planning a pre-party setup and decorating meet, on Friday
evening August 17th, feel free to come by and help out.
Sounds like it's going to be a fantastic party!! :) Hope you all can make it! Keep an eye on the blog for more updates, and the DWC Yahoo Group (and your local DW Yahoo Group)for polls, directions, and contact info.
Thanks!!!

More on Games:
We're well on board with plenty of games at our disposal:
We have Computer Games including: Dalek Attack, from 1992; Mines of
Terror, from 1985; as well as the online Dalek games released at the
BBC website from the new series.
We have board games including Battle for the Universe from the 90's
and the new series Interactive Electronic Board Game.
We also have Attack of the Graske, 2005's Christmas special
interactive TV game, which will be a great group game. We should also
be having a couple quizzes, and one for the kids, if we have enough
players, both will win prizes, and we have some good ones lined up.
We are also trying to set up a race course for some Radio Controlled
Dalek races.
