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! ...

[3/6] - To flashback briefly, I was delighted, as were the rest of the GALLIFREY ONE: 20 YEARS TO LIFE crowd, to not only hang with Gareth David-Lloyd(Ianto) and Kai Owen(Rhys)at the Friday Torchwood Panel, but get majorly suprised when NAOKO MORI(Tosh!)dropped by ;-P...
- And while yours truly had to miss out on Gareth's latter appearance at HW's INSIDE THE HUB, I more than made up for it at MegaCon when he was at HW's table..
