'The barge sped on across the sea and presently a flat plate of what looked like food was put before the doctor. Critically he examined it and turned up his nose. An hour later he touched it and found the mass was slimy and smelt like fish. Obvious enough on a world like this. But it was raw! Did they expect him to eat this?
'Another hour and after seeing many of the Voord eating what looked like the same kind of food, he conquered his abhorrence and, picking it up, tried to force some of the fishy, flesh-like food into his starving mouth. The reality was much worse than the anticipation. He gagged and almost vomited as the flesh, cold and slimy, uncooked and fishy, refused to stay in his mouth. He gave a loud angry yell and he was very surprised at the reaction.
'Those Voord who happened to be close to him cringed away from him as though in great pain. All the black beings on the barge deck looked at him and the one who had spoken to him came over.'

On Sunday 20th July 2014, I attended my first Invasion event at Woodhorn in Northumberland. It was a really great location and Keith and Elaine did a sterling job of keeping about 65 of us in check and making sure the day went without a hitch. It was awesome to get to see old friends, make new ones and to see those who attended the event with such great smiles.
