The Guardians Of Gallifrey: Doctor Who Fans of Central FL
**CELEBRATING the PAST, PRESENT, and FUTURE of DOCTOR WHO!!**
Salutations, and thanks for stopping by! We are THE GUARDIANS OF GALLIFREY, a *23 YEAR-OLD* Fan Club in The Orlando/Central Florida area devoted to the long-lived BBC SF/Fantasy Series, DOCTOR WHO. We have monthly meetings at a member's homes, libraries, malls, etc., usually around the 3rd or 4th weekend. We also have our newsletter, 'The Gallifrey Guardian', and our newsgroup on Google (Thanks, Tom!). Together, with our Main Site here, we hope to keep everyone up on The Universe of WHO, and GOG's little piece of it. Enjoy! ...
