Bill reviewed a book of short stories bought at BASFA auction as worth what he paid for it

[evil] Kevin reviewed the Turkey Trot as 38 degrees when he started & he did a personal best & still worth full price & reviewed TV party games as not bad

Gerry reviewed Orycon as he was on lots of panels and had a great time, then reviewed the M drive as promising

Mo reviewed the 'Ghostbusters' remake as she enjoyed it & thought it worth full price, then reviewed 'Suicide Squad' as disappointing on many levels & reviewed HBO's "Westworld' as worth following

Lisa reviewed Steven Universe, an animated show, as having lots of in-jokes & worth watching
