Hello everyone,

Well this is a very belated update post – where has the year gone? We’re into mid April already – sheesh!

We are now into our 4th month of our Doctor Who Anniversary Comps – yes Forum members can enter these, 50 comps being uploaded over the course of the year, with fantastic monthly prize giveaways.

Our monthly writing challenges are buzzing along nicely too, and can be found on this board >>>

We’ve opened a new discussion thread for Doctor Who “Eps of the Month” – please check that out and perhaps revisit some of your favourite episodes >>>

Of course there is loads of discussion going on about the second half of the latest Who season, and you can participate on the Current Season board, and also vote in our episode polls >>>

I have listed below also, the most relevant links that you may wish to use -

And just a reminder to all our Forum Guests – please remember that whilst we are an Australian based Website and Forum, we welcome members from all worldwide locations – and yes registering as a Forum Member is totally free.

Your fearless leader is heading to Brisbane today, to attend the Lords of Time Convention tomorrow. Very excited as Doctors FIVE, SIX, SEVEN and EIGHT are attending, as well as John Leeson, Nicholas Briggs and Janet Fielding – should be a smashing day for all concerned.

All the best everyone – enjoy all that is happening in the world of Doctor Who and Torchwood.

Cheers!

Hi there,

We have uploaded an outline of what is ahead of us during 2013, for the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary celebrations – you can find the main post here (refer most recent post for updated info)

So as you can see via that thread, there will be many things happening throughout 2013 including weekly comps (and prizes), writing challenges, and SO much more.

Of course only Registered Forum Members will be able to participate in the bulk of the events that we’ll be running.

We have also opened up some new Forum Games that may interest you also -

So we would recommend that you head on over to the Forum and join us for loads of fun over the course of 2013.

We wish you all a Happy New Year and good health, happiness and many blessings for 2013.

Cheers.

Exciting stuff for 2013….all to be revealed in good time!

We recently uploaded the following post on Twitter and Facebook – refer below:

We’ve got BIG plans for Torchwood Australia next year, particularly with the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who approaching in Nov 2013.

So we suggest you stick close by, so you don’t miss out on anything….we will be working very hard to really shake things up – so you are going to WANT to be there for it.

That said, if you are currently ‘lurking’ as a guest only, now is probably the time to consider joining as an official member…

Announcements of our upcoming celebrations for the ENTIRE year will be gradually revealed in our lead up to the Christmas Season (and beyond). Yes EVERY week in 2013 will be a celebration week on TA….

And of course we have Christmas comps coming up as well shortly.

So, basically folks, you snooze, you lose….

Come along and join the ride; this is going to be pretty awesome! I kid you not!

Our new look :) and some updates for you….

Hi everyone,

Well as you can probably see, we’ve changed our main web page to a new look…..we’re in the blue moreso now than in the red :)

Also for those of you who are members on the Forum, you may wish to change to the forum default template (you can do this via your user panel, profile, options – templates choice is down the bottom of the page) – the forum default is the blue page, which matches our new look web page. You still have the option of blackred, which still ‘works’ ok with the new banner on the Forum, but the plain black really clashes with the new banner. So up to you what you choose for your viewing pleasure. Guests will see the forum default/blue page now when they are online.

We elected to have an MD image on the main web page, and a S2 TW image on the Forum, as a nod to the past TW as well as the more recent TW.

We felt it was time for a change, so we hope you like the new look.

General Updates -

New Who is well underway, and ABC in Australia are kindly allowing us to view the brand new eps via iView, as soon as they have aired in the UK. Please head over to the Current Season board on the Forum, in Whoniverse, for all episode discussions and polls.

For Forum Members – you should check out the competitions board for the Exodus Code Caption Game Comp – nice prizes for the winning caption. Only open now for another week.

Your fearless leader has been a bit MIA of late – I shall try to rectify that over the coming weeks and see what I can organise to ‘stir things up’ a bit on the Forum :)

Of course Christmas is not that far away (good Lord, how did that happen???) – so we will have Christmas comps coming up very soon.

Anyways, enjoy yourselves, and join in wherever you wish to.

All the best…
