September

 * The Leeds 2009 PPC Gathering occurs on the 5th, attended by Paddlebrains, Laburnum and Cassie Cameron-Young, and also a couple of Pads's friends whom she dragged along. Many pointy, sharp and pain-inducing things were spotted, as were some very nice horses and a large selection of beer.
 * Agent Tasmin Haynes reaches the milestone of fifty (50!) recorded missions. She also manages to avoid any "how did you last this long?" parties thrown in her honour, or just for the hell of it.

Not specified

 * Jasmine Sims is born.
 * The killing of Naga Eyes.
 * Traf Elosia and Jared Calinson have a son, named Ether. Traf dies this same year, of unknown causes.
