Recycling Turns To New With Riudavets
Description: Established in the late 1920s, and currently run by the third generation, this family business has always guaranteed authenticity, durability and a proper fit. The authentic Avarcas Riudavets of today still carry many characteristics of those worn yesterday: a classic tire sole, a fine suede inner lining, greased leather and a hidden border stitch. The Avarca sandal has its origins in Menorca, a small island in the Spanish Mediterranean, where the land is dry and hard. Given these conditions, the Menorcan villagers needed shoes that were strong and flexible, yet simple in design. They soon found that Avarcas were the ideal shoes for this purpose. Avarcas come in variety of fashionable colors and prints (for men, women and kids), making it hard to go home with just one pair. They are the ideal footwear, complementing every outfit, from casual jeans to a smart dress. This sandal can easily take you from the beach to the city – making it the ultimate wardrobe staple. Comfortable, durable and handmade from premium Spanish leather and 100% recycled rubber (made from car tires), it's no wonder they have been around for hundreds of years.

From the TAFF ballot form: The Trans-Atlantic Fan Fund was created in 1953 for the purpose of providing funds to bring well-known and popular [science fiction] fans familiar to those on both sides of the ocean across the Atlantic. Since that time TAFF has regularly brought North American fans to European conventions and European fans to North American conventions. TAFF exists solely through the support of fandom. The candidates are voted on by interested fans all over the world, and each vote is accompanied by a donation [...] These votes, and the continued generosity of fandom, are what make TAFF possible. (See past and present ballot forms for more.)

28 January 2018 Yet another newsletter from North American administrator John Purcell: TAFF News #4.
January 2018 Happy New Year! New Year's Day sees two momentous changes to this site's free ebooks page. First, by popular demand of a few persistent fans, all titles are now available in PDF format (a quick-and-dirty conversion rather than proper digital typesetting, I'm afraid; more here). Even more first, True Rat: The Beast of Leroy Kettle, edited as usual by Rob Hansen, collects the greatest hits from Roy Kettle's peak fanwriting years in the 1970s and early 1980s.
Christmas 2017 In John Purcell's TAFF News #3, the three 2018 TAFF candidates are asked probing questions and reveal their inmost secrets. With photographs!
December 2017 Voting is now open (to close on 3 April 2018) for the 2018 westbound TAFF race, bringing a European fan to Worldcon 76 in San José, California. Candidates are Johan Anglemark, Fia Karlsson and Helena McCallum (Adela Terrell): Online voting form. Ballot. Platforms. PDF ballot. See John Purcell's full announcement in TAFF News #2.
More at the free ebooks page: fan historian Rob Hansen has collected the late Frank Arnold's articles, memoirs and reviews (mostly unpublished), as The Frank Arnold Papers with introductions by Rob and Michael Moorcock; and David Langford has edited The Complete Skyrack by Ron Bennett, collecting all issues of Ron's indispensable 1960s UK fan newsletter plus several bonus items.
November 2017 Nominations are now open (to close on 30 November) for the 2018 westbound TAFF race, bringing a European fan to Worldcon 76 in San José, California. See John Purcell's TAFF News #1. More at the free ebooks page: Graham Charnock's Running Amok in the Fun Factory brings together his favourite UK convention reports by various hands, while fan historian Rob Hansen has collected William F. (Bill) Temple's 1938-1960 humorous fanzine writing as Temple at the Bar. A new page on this site: TAFF Newsletters, listing all known newsletters and progress reports in chronological order with links where possible.
October 2017 Another title added to the free ebooks page: Greg Pickersgill's , a collection of his fanwriting edited and published by Claire Brialey and Mark Plummer for the 2005 Glasgow Worldcon at which he was fan guest of honour. Still more ebooks are in the pipeline, several edited by indefatigable fan historian Rob Hansen– announcements will follow here and in Ansible. Meanwhile the freebies page has been titivated with linked cover-and-description pages for every title (so each has its own permalink as for Greg's ebook above) and a gallery of all the covers. Joe Siclari of fanac.org has kindly sent scans of several old TAFF newsletters not previously hosted here. The first to go up in our traditional web-page form is Eric Bentcliffe's TAFF Reporter TAFF Reporter #1, May 1962.
August 2017 TAFF winner John Purcell attended Worldcon 75 in Helsinki, toured and visited fans in other countries before and after, returned to the USA with 5,862 photographs, and now takes over the role of North American administrator from Curt Phillips. See left-hand column for his official contact address and TAFF-specific email. Anna Raftery reports: "Nearly 2,300 was raised for the fan funds at the Helsinki Worldcon: 1,994 from the auction and the remainder from the fan fund table and donations. Some items were sold for specific funds but the majority of the cash raised was split evenly, with DUFF thus getting 660.80 in total, TAFF 778.30, and GUFF 838.30." (Email, 28 August)
July 2017 Now available at Free Ebooks: the TAFF Trip Report Anthology, bringing together all the instalments of unfinished and abandoned TAFF reports that have been archived on this site over the years, plus single "teaser" chapters from reports still actively in progress (see below). The final length is 130,000 words. Many thanks to all the friends of TAFF who have helped with this mighty compilation!
June 2017 More trip report instalments from past TAFF winners are now hosted here: thanks to Ulrika O'Brien (1998), Anne and Brian Gray (2010) and John Coxon (2011) for single "teaser" chapters from their reports-in-progress, and to Steve Green (2009) for the three chapters which are probably all that will appear of his report. Further thanks to the Locus editorial team for approving the use of Elliot K. Shorter's 1970 Worldcon report as TAFF delegate, published in Locus in its fanzine days. See also the 23 May post below. All this material has been added to TAFF: The Anthology, an ebook-in-progress which at 129,000 words is virtually complete and destined for the Free Ebooks page. More new additions there include Ansible Second Series 1991-2000 and Ansible Second Series 2001-2010, two massive compilations each presenting ten years of the infamous newsletter; but the agog fannish world will have to wait a bit longer for Ansible Second Series 2011-2020.
28 May 2017 John Purcell writes: "Here are the core dates when my wife and I are going to and from Europe for WorldCon 75. The goal here is to see who and what we can meet, see, and do during our travels [...] As things progress, I shall keep all and sundry notified."
- July 13: leaving Houston, TX
- July 14: arriving Manchester, England
- Probably staying in UK (England and Wales) to end of July (28th?)
- July 29/Aug 1-7: traveling through Europe (France, Netherlands, ?)
- August 8-14: WorldCon 75 in Helsinki, Finland
- August 15-19: traveling back to Manchester, England
- August 20: depart Manchester for Houston
23 May 2017 It's ages since any new TAFF report chapters were added to this site; the tendency these days is for them to appear in online fanzines (mainly at eFanzines.com) duly linked from the All the Past TAFF Races page. However, the TAFF site now hosts "teaser" chapters from Jim Mowatt (2013) and Curt Phillips (2014), with more expected before long. New at Free Ebooks: Walt Willis's The Harp at Chicon, the first long segment of his The Harp Stateside as published in Quandry (1952). Later: Also John Berry's The Goon Omnibus, being his "Goon Bleary/Goon Defective Agency" fanfiction as collected in the 1993 volumes The Bleary Eyes 1 and 2.
May 2017 Congratulations to Jacq Monahan on finishing and publishing her TAFF report, Same Planet Different World: Jacq's TAFF Adventure in the UK. By special arrangement with James Shields, James Bacon's 2004 TAFF trip report WorldConNomicon is now available as a free PDF download from this site. (18+ megabytes, so take care if you have a slow net connection.) The Free Ebooks download page now caters for PDF as well as e-reader formats, so WorldConNomicon and Chris Garcia's report – the latter long available from elsewhere on this site – can both be found there. More to follow!
18 April 2017 2017 TAFF voting closed last night, and after much counting and recounting the administrators announced today that John Purcell won by just one vote. The detailed release is here.
February 2017 In addition to their 2017 TAFF ballot platforms, all three candidates have since posted campaign material online. Click on each name for more: Sarah Gulde, Alissa McKersie, John Purcell. TAFF voting has been extended from the former 4 March deadline to the end of the UK Eastercon on 17 April. See the official press release.
December 2017 The 2017 TAFF ballot has been released and voting is open. HTML and PDF versions are archived on this site. The 2017 candidates are Sarah Gulde, Alissa McKersie and John Purcell. Online voting using PayPal seems slightly buggy as described here; if PayPal doesn't offer the option to add comments or instructions you may need to email your voting preferences to the appropriate administrator as well. Here's a reminder that SCIFI still offers a $500 donation to TAFF for any trip report of reasonable length completed within five years of the trip: http://www.scifiinc.org/grants/.
October 2016 Nominations are now open for the 2017 race from North America to Worldcon 75 in Helsinki, Finland. Official release here.
31 March 2016 Here's the official newsletter with full details of the results and the list of voters: TAFFWorld #6, April 2016.
30 March 2016 Jim Mowatt announces (voting figures slightly amended 31 March): "And the Taff result is in: Anna Raftery 94 votes, Wolf von Witting 82 votes, No Preference 14 votes. Therefore Anna is the new Taff delegate and will be visiting North America later this year to attend MidAmeriCon II and hopefully visiting some other fannish abodes. Many congratulations and a warm welcome to our new Taff delegate.
"Many commiserations to Wolf who was a brilliant candidate and has done an incredible amount of work amongst fans from many countries to raise the profile of TAFF in continental Europe. As Nina will testify, the fan fund isn't very well known in some parts of Europe so it can be quite difficult to engage your fellow fans if they aren't very familiar with the TransAtlantic Fan Fund. Wolf moved mountains and came within just 10 votes of claiming the prize. A stunning campaign and a monumental achievement. In many other years the number of votes he managed to get would have taken him comfortably to the victory podium. Wolf, we salute you."
March 2016 Jim Mowatt's TAFFWorld #5 urges everyone to vote in the current race before the 29 March deadline.
December 2016 Jim Mowatt opens the new race: "Emerging from the shadows our two candidates enter the ring. Anna Raftery and Wolf von Witting. The prize, a trip across the Atlantic to meet lots of fine fannish folk and strengthen the bonds of friendship between Europe and North America. They limber up and then stroll across to the centre of the ring. The administrators issue their instructions. 'No kicking, no biting, no headbutting and no gouging. Now break and let's have a good clean fight.' Let it commence. Everyone please start voting. The ballot form is available and you can vote online using the TAFF Vote buttons at http://tafftrip.com/taff-ballot-2016/." Also PDF ballot here.

Rescuers are searching for a small aircraft owned by a Silicon Valley executive that has been reported missing in the wilderness near the central Idaho town of Yellow Pine.
Officials say the pilot of the single-engine plane with five people aboard reported an engine failure near the Johnson Creek Airstrip, about 125 miles northeast of Boise, around 3:30 p.m. Sunday, NBC affiliate KTVB reports.
Valley County Sheriff Lt. Dan Smith said the people on board are from the same family. The Salt Lake Tribune reported that passengers included Amber Smith of San Jose, and her fiance Jonathan Norton.
U.S. & World
Norton's uncle, Alan Dayton, told the paper that his nephew was traveling with the Smith family after Thanksgiving vacation, and had traveled from San Jose to Baker City, Ore.. They were heading to Butte, Montana, to drop off Smith's brother and sister-in-law, when the pilot lost contact with air traffic controllers in Salt Lake City.
The BE-36 Beech Bonanza is registered to Dale Smith, of San Jose, according to FAA records.
Authorities wouldn't specifically confirm Dale Smith was flying the plane, but did say the pilot was the owner of the plane. Eric Peterson, assistant director of the Santa Clara County airports, confirmed that the plane and its owner, Dale Smith, are tenants at Reid-Hillview Airport in San Jose.
"We have no idea what the status of things is right now,'' Lt. Smith said. "They could have landed safely somewhere and just can't communicate.''
Rand Kriech, who co-founded the hardware and software company SerialTek with Smith, called his friend an excellent pilot after flying with him several times.
"He's one of the safest pilots I know. A very cautious pilot," Kriech said on Monday night. "Have no fear of flying with him at all. I'm a pilot myself and I really appreciate somebody that takes as much care as Dale."
Those close with the Smiths said the family had spent Thanksgiving in Oregon, and that Dale was flying one of his sons to Montana. Investigators said the people onboard the missing plane are from the Smith family.
"I would be very worried if they haven't heard from him," said Linda Castillo, a neighbor. "Because he stays in touch. You know when he goes on these trips, he stays in touch with everybody."
Elizabeth Neipp is hoping and praying for her friend, Smith, and his family are safe.
"Dale is smart. He's talented. He is good at what he does," she said. "So there's good reason to think, to hope that there is a happy ending to this."
Track vehicles, ATVs and snowmobiles were mobilized for a ground search. The Valley County Sheriff's Department is coordinating the search effort, which includes deputies, EMS, firefighters, search and rescue crews.
A Lakota helicopter with the Army Air National Guard left Gowen Field in Boise around 10:30 a.m. Monday, but was forced to turn back because of poor weather conditions. Blackhawk helicopters in McCall will fly to Johnson Creek when weather permits.
The Civil Air Patrol and fixed-wing planes from the Idaho Transportation Department also plan to join the search when the weather allows for a safe launch.
The search was called off for the night early Monday evening due to heavy snow and low visibility, and resumed at daybreak on Tuesday.
Smith obtained his pilot's license in 2005 and had a second-class medical certification, allowing him to operate commercial aircraft, the Associated Press reports.
