Rob Wilkins has recently won the auction for the Discworld Knight as painted by Paul Kidby.

The statue will reside in Terry's local pub The Queen's Head in Broad Chalke in Wiltshire, where it will be on display for the next couple of months before moving to its permanent home in the Chalke Valley.

A clear case of Rob "being more Terry". Congratulations Rob on your win.

Rob Wilkins has now taken on the role of executive producer on Snowgum Film's adaptation of Troll Bridge. For us, the consumers, this should make no noticeable difference - it is still a fan film and we will still get DVDs etc. as promised.

Having Rob on board gives the team at Snowgum an added push to get the project finished and in line with other work that is going on at Narrativia.

Producer Ahren Morris says "Rob made it clear that Troll Bridge is an important part of what is happening in Discworld right now. It's up to Dan and I to deliver on that promise and we're working hard to make that happen."

Hopefully this news will mean that we will see a finished version of Troll Bridge sooner rather than later.

* From: "Stewart Range" st.range@aol.com

I'd like to know why there seems to be a definite lack of readers letters recently. I suspect that there won't be a single letter published in the latest issue of Discworld Monthly.

I recently received my copy of The Shepherd's Crown but haven't yet faced taking it out of its plastic wrapping yet. Is this normal?

JA replies: You are not alone. I know of quite a few people have decided not to open their copy of The Shepherd's Crown yet. If your copy is wrapped in plastic please do take off the plastic and let the paper breathe. Terry wrote books because he wanted to share his stories and ideas with people. I suspect he would find the idea of readers not reading his books a little strange. When you are ready to pick up The Shepherd's Crown I am sure you will enjoy it as it really is a fitting end to the Discworld series.

The (hopefully correct) answers can be found at the end of this issue.


6. Review: The Perpetual Terry Pratchett Memorial Scholarship

Written by Danny Sag.

As you may have heard, Sir Terry Pratchett has - posthumously - created a perpetual scholarship at the University of South Australia (UniSA), allowing Masters students to undertake their research at the Hawke Institute at UniSA and the Long Room at Trinity College Dublin.

On Monday September 28, Rob Wilkins - Terry's long time PA, Business Manager and friend presented the scholarship to UniSA Vice Chancellor Professor David Lloyd. You may have seen some of the news articles, or the official video from UniSA (links below), but I'm here to tell you about a fan's perspective.

Members of the Australian Discworld Convention committee including myself were fortunate enough to be invited to this event, and so we stood there nervously amongst many other university dignitaries, feeling a little out of place - until Rob came in, recognised us, and gave us all hugs!

Once the formalities began, Professor Lloyd introduced Rob and the scholarship. Rob spoke for a short while about Terry's life since the embuggerance, and the relationship Terry and Rob had developed with Prof. Lloyd at his time at Trinity College Dublin and later UniSA. Terry was given an honorary doctorate at Trinity College in 2008 and at UniSA in 2014, and for some of the time in between, Terry was a visiting Professor at Trinity College giving some lectures on writing. Rob then told us how last October - on the day after Prof Lloyd had visited to present Terry with his UniSA doctorate (together with a graduate's hat with corks) - Terry wrote letters to his family and to Rob which were not opened until Terry's birthday this year, after his passing.

The letter to Rob included a phrase similar to "I fancy a memorial scholarship in my name. Speak to David Lloyd and make it so." - and it has now happened! This is special as it's a perpetual scholarship - worth one million Australian dollars (there or thereabouts) - which should tie the two universities together in Terry's name forever.

After the speeches, Rob presented Professor Lloyd with a large novelty cheque from the Royal Bank of Ankh-Morpork, the official documentation was signed (and stamped with Terry's bee), and a few of us had Rob sign our copies of The Shepherd's Crown.

A fun morning all around, and we were *also* lucky enough to catch up privately with Rob a little later to discuss the 2017 Australian Discworld Convention, which will be held in Adelaide. But we can't possibly tell you about that.... although if you sign up to the mailing list at ausdwcon.org you'll find out about Nullus Anxietas VI when we have stuff to announce!

7. Competition Result: The Shepherd's Crown

In issue 220 we offered you chance to win one of two copies of The Shepherd's Crown which Discworld Monthly purchased to give away. We asked you to send your answers to two simple questions to us by 21st October 2015.

The two questions were:

Q1.
According to our new Terry Pratchett Bibliography page on the Discworld Monthly website, when was Eric published?
Q2.
How many sites do we link to in the list on the Discworld Monthly website links page?

The correct answers were that Eric was first published in 1990 and that there are 15 website links on the links page. We had 49 correct entries in the UK competition and 40 in the non UK competition. We also had a small handful of incorrect entries.

The correct entries were split into two pots, one for the UK and one for the rest of the world. We randomly selected one winner from each of the pots.

The UK resident winner is: Mike Stanford from Liverpool, England

The non-UK resident winner is: Erik Bauer from Pittsburgh, USA

Congratulations to our two winners - keep an eye out on the post (your prizes should be easy to recognise) but may take a couple of weeks to get to you, Erik.

We would like to thank everyone who took part in the competition. All address information collected as part of the competition has now been deleted. discworldmonthly.co.uk


8. New Competition: The Compleat Atlas and Emporium Care Package

This month the lovely folks at The Discworld Emporium have agreed to give away a copy of their new book, The Compleat Atlas, and an "Emporium Care Package". We'll leave it up to the winner to let everyone know what the care package contains.

To be in with a chance to win this fabulous prize we need you to answer the following question:

Q1.
What are the Discworld Emporium giving away with their copies of The Compleat Atlas?

Send your answers to the question, along with your postal address, to competitions@discworldmonthly.co.uk before 18th November 2015. Your address will only be used for sending out your prize should you be the lucky winner. Once prizes are sent out all address details will be destroyed. Entries received after the closing date or sent to any other address will be ignored. No more than one entry per person will be accepted. Failure to answer the questions or provide your postal address will prevent you from being entered into the competition. Multiple entries will be banned. Answers to the questions must not be posted to any websites before the competition ends. The judges' decision is final.

9. Review: The Irish Discworld Convention 2015

Reviewed by: Bernard "The Cunning Artificer" Pearson

Thoughts and musings on the Irish Discworld Convention 2015.

Back from another great convention which was much enjoyed by this old Discworld campaigner. I met up with many old friends who, like me, meander from convention to convention and from one smoking area to another. And there were many new faces who soon also became friends. The warmth and hospitality of the Irish Discworld Con is unique.

And it's not just the Guinness or, in the case of Cork, the Murphy's Irish Stout. What elixir, what a smooth, creamy delight. Comforting, satisfying and inducing a mellow warmth in the old cockles of the heart in much the same way that meeting with old friends does.

As usual the opening ceremony was nicely done and because this was the first convention since dear Terry's passing it was particularly special. The theme of the con was hung round the muscular neck of the 'City Watch' and the committee had organised a really good 'murder mystery' to run throughout the weekend. I thought the acting was excellent and it was great fun. This was an excellent convention in a superb hotel and was cram packed with things for fans to do regardless of age and degrees of sanity.

The lovely Siobhan Greaney was chairperson and she and her team did a fantastic job to make everyone's time at the con very special. Thanks to everyone there for making this such a memorable and wonderful time in the company of fellow Discworld fans.

* * * * *

Advert time: Isobel and I have done 'em all - conventions that is.

We have been writing down some memories and observations on our blog which, if you're bored or looking for displacement activity, might amuse.

We have written about the first Discworld gathering in Woolpit in 1995 and now are moving on to the first real Discworld Convention in 1996.
