Newsletter 16 - January 2026 - Better Than a Poke in the Eye
1. Editorial
Welcome to issue 16 of Better Than. Once again I must make our apologies for being late again. This issue was created on the first of the month but we were unable to publish due to circumstances out of our control.
Now that we have finally had my fathers funeral this week we will head right back into preparations for Llamedos Holiday Camp which takes place is just a few short weeks. Rachel and I will be putting in some late nights to get everything back on track. NOTE. We have some tickets available via our waiting list. Just email us at info@llamedosholidaycamp.com if you want to come. We also have a room become available.
We had our final meeting with the Diplomat hotel yesterday and they are looking forward to welcoming us back again. Dr Hix has been down to see if he can resurrect some life into the hotels tech, and Mrs Earwig tried to take over the tech check by hijacking the stage and talking about her books.
On a personal note I'd like to thank all those that got in contact with with condolence messages. They mean a lot.
We'll see you next month,
Jason
