*sigh* Despite our best efforts to minimise concrud from Continuum 16, we unfortunately are aware of a number of attendees and committee members who have tested positive to Covid.
If you attended Continuum this year, we strongly recommend you test yourself, and above all, look after yourself.

To preorder email info@continuum.org.au
