- I have appeared at only one convention in the UK. It was the
- UFP Con 91 - the 31st British Star Trek Convention, held on
- May 3-6, 1991, in Birmingham.
-
- Kim Farey, Ros Liddle, Dave, Alan, and Simone treated me and my
- girlfriend Robyn as if we were visiting royalty. We had a _wonderful_
- time. I have yet to properly write and thank them. As usual, the
- most important letters take the longest to compose, and send.

-
- Great - I'm interested too! I'd love to revisit England - there are
- some fascinating sites out in Cornwall. I lucked out, last time,
- and managed to hitch several rides with people who knew where the
- Man-an-Tol was. Then there's the fake Stone Henge in Masham (built
- in 1820, and it glows in the dark). And Scotland. And Wales. And
- Ireland... And the Convention!

-
- What about Larry Niven? And Mary Gentle's swordfighting demo?
- And the banquet? And Oslo? Hope you made it to both Vigeland Museums!
