First Contact: Joined British SF Association early 1967 through ad in
NEW WORLDS, too late to attend that year's Eastercon.
Some writing for BSFA, then material in Peter Roberts'
MOR-FARCH (Easter 1968) and attendance at Thirdmancon,
Easter 1968.
First Con: Thirdmancon, Easter 1968
Concoms: Eastercon '77 - Fan Room (1977)
Mexicon 1 (1984)
Mexicon 2 (1986)
Conspiracy - Fan Room (1987)
Novacon 18 (1988)
Mexicon 3 (1989)
Intersection - Fan Room (1995).
Fanzines: FOULER (6 issues - numbered 2 to 7, 1970-72)
RITBLAT/GRIM NEWS (2 issues, 1974)
STOP BREAKING DOWN (7 issues, 1976-81)
RASTUS JOHNSON'S CAKEWALK (7 issues, 1993-94)
One-offs: Eastercon pamphlets in the 1970's such as LETTERS WE
HAVE NOT RECIEVED and the LITTLE-READ STOOL BOOK, mostly
written by Leroy Kettle, and edited by Pickersgill.
Apazines: A small number of individually-titled items such as B24
LIBERATOR for Frank's APA, and STAGGERLEE, for APA SF&F.
No serials.
Special Projects: MEMORY HOLE fanzine recycling system and permanent
collection. MH gathers in unwanted fanzine collections
and redistributes them on demand to serious collectors
or the simply curious. At the same time MH is building
and maintaining a permanent collection of, primarily,
'mainstream' sf/fannish fanzines (post-1970 apazines are
not a priority). As of late 1996, there are 10000+ issues
of 1800+ titles in the MH permanent collection, and some
2000-odd items in the recycling reservoir.
MH permacollection items are available for loan, although
the long term plan includes mass production of facsimiles
and a CD-ROM archive. The MH permacollection catalog
(done as the Roberts/Clarke format) is available on disk
or paper.
Contact MH on MH@GOSTAK.DEMON.CO.UK for further
information.
Online: From 1996.
