Lady Kayla
MEG, the 2006 Convention Chairman, coerced Kayla into being on the 2006 Committee by the sneaky and underhanded method of phoning her up one day and asking "Could you take on the Hotel Liaison and Gala Dinner organising for the Convention?
" She said "Yes, of course.
"
She travelled from Western Australia to attend the first DWCon in '96, volunteered as a gopher at registration and has been volunteering for stuff ever since.
You'd think she'd learn.
She used to be a sysadmin, but tells everyone she is "much better now." Nowadays she spends her time (what little there is left between the various meetings for all the committees she is on (I did say she volunteers a lot, didn't I?) painting, knitting, sewing, cooking and reading. The first three activities are the ones she actually gets paid to do.
She lives in Somerset - just on the edge of hearing distance of the Glastonbury Festival - with her husband, The Flying Hamster (who she met at the aforementioned first DWCon); her two children; three peach-faced lovebirds (aka "psychotic tissue-raping avians"); three ducks; nine fish; and a few hundred thousand honeybees.
