Hey everyone,

Just a bit of general info to remind everyone of all things Torchwood, that is happening over the next week.

Firstly, we are up to our last night of the radio plays on BBC Radio4, which you can listen to via the internet – tonight’s radio play will be aired at 11.15pm AEST.

Here is the Radio4 link  http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/  and also a link to where you can download the radio plays for a limited time  http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/features/torchwood/download/

Secondly, Children of Earth is starting in the UK on Monday night 6 July…..and as some of you are already aware, UKTV in Australia will air the 5 eps over consecutive nights, starting at 8.30pm on Tuesday 7 July.  This is fantastic for Australians, compared to the US who will not be airing the season until later in the month.  Good job UKTV!

Thirdly, we have a very comprehensive Children of Earth section on the Torchwood Australia Forum – Noo, who is one of our Sub Admins, has put a lot of time and effort into that section, and it is a fantastic source for “all things CoE”, so come on over and check it out  http://torchwoodaustralia.com/forum/YaBB.pl?catselect=season3

Lastly, we’ve had quite an influx of new members to Torchwood Australia and warmly welcome everyone.  If you haven’t visited our Forum before, please feel free to join us over there…..we don’t bite, I promise!  http://torchwoodaustralia.com/forum/YaBB.pl

We seem to be getting a lot of new members wanting to come on board due to CoE coming up, but I have also noticed we have some new Torchwood converts since ABC2 started airing season one – that is just fabulous for the Fandom.

I would like to add here, that we have declared July as Children of Earth Month on our Forum, so come on over and join in the fun.

I hope you all have a super Torchwoody month – ENJOY!

Hi everyone,

Just a few things to mention to bring you “up to speed”.

Firstly, the rumours that are going around about Children of Earth UK airing date, seem to indicate that it may occur week commencing 15th June – nothing confirmed at this stage though…..UKTV in Australia will be airing the 5 episodes I believe the same day or thereabouts as per the UK airing dates.  Please keep an eye on the forum for more details as they come to hand.  There will be announcements made over there regarding when COE will air etc.

Secondly, we welcome Noo as our newest Sub Admin on the Forum – fabulous to have you join the moderating team Noo.

Thirdly, our 2nd Anniversary is fast approaching.  Please stay up to date with news of that weekend on the forum.  Lots of activities/comps/prizes are planned.  The relevant weekend is 20th/21st June 2009.

And lastly, EvilRuthy is off for her big trip with Cally73 to the UK on 12th May; I will be away until 15th June, and will be online occasionally whilst I’m away, probably once a week.  The Forum moderation will be capably looked after by Clarrisani and Noo; please contact them if you need assistance with anything during my absence.  The website itself won’t be updated during my absence.

Hope you are having a great weekend all.

Cheers.

Well here it is guys…..finally…..

More than a wee bit excited right now – this looks SO awesome!

Oh yes, I’m a bit late – I can’t believe January is nearly finished already – where did this month go?

Anyways, all the admin staff at Torchwood Australia do wish you all the very best for 2009.

And a little bit of news for you – check out this thread re “ABC has bought Torchwood”.  An interesting development.

Cheers.

A huge congratulations to all our winners.  Your prizes will be mailed out to you some time during January.

And also a thank you to everyone who participated in the comps…..we hope you enjoyed yourself as much as we did as organisers of the comps.

The next lot of competitions will most likely occur during our Website/Forum anniversary week in June 2009.

You will be kept up to date accordingly.

Cheers.

From the Torchwood Australia Admin team to you and your family, our very best wishes of the Season to you all.

We hope you have a very happy, safe, and exciting Christmas, and all the best for 2009!

Our Christmas competitions are approaching their end, and I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank those members who have participated thus far in the competitions.

If you haven’t entered any of the comps, there is still time to get entries in for a couple of the comps…..

For your info.

Here is the Christmas competition thread with all details about comps, prizes etc….

Check it out!

Hi everyone,

Well Christmas is approaching fast, only 6½ weeks to go…..

We want to make our Forum as Christmassy as possible, so there will be special activities and competitions running leading up to Christmas – most of the activity will be focused on the first two weeks of December.

Regarding the competitions, please note there will be (small) prizes for these comps, so come over to the Forum when you get a chance and check things out.  Competition information posts will go up on the Forum around late November I believe.

And if I don’t get a chance to say it before the end of the year, I hope you and your family have a fantastic and safe Christmas and all the best for the New Year!

I have launched a petition on the TEN forum, regarding a number of the complaints that Australian Torchwood fans have voiced over recent weeks.

If you feel as strongly about the issues as I do, please go over and sign the petition, so that we may be able to get TEN to finally do something about these issues.

Here is the link…..I believe you do have to be registered on the TEN forum to make comments etc…..
