Chattacbn's party was shut down early due to complaints about noise, so they moved the party to the con suite. Having gotten up early to make my flight, I decided to retire early. Saturday, I worked a table for the SFC, occasionally sneaking away to the dealer's room or the art show. Light attendance meant that I didn't sell many memberships, but I established that the SFC is still around. There were 12 entrants in the Masquerade that night, including Samanda b Jeude, who had been running the Electrical Eggs table during the day. The grand prize was won by a couple who came in Babylon V costumes. The one made up as a Vorlon was outstanding. Chad Childers volunteered to put the SFC on a World Wide Web home page. This is something I've wanted to do some time, especially since this was brought up at the business meeting at Kubla-Khan. He's already done quite a lot of work, and we should have a permanent address by the next issue. I worked for a few hours at my table Sunday and then helped Janet take down the art show. She returned the favor by driving me to the airport.

Carlisle is year ago and suggested that we register for the 1995 WorldCon where the Jacobite rebellion ended and where Mary Queen of in Glasgow (August 24-28), it seemed like a good excuse to go to Scots was first imprisoned.

Nottingham is where the commercial lace trade began (can't The Scottish Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC), remember when, though!). where the convention was held, is a nice facility.

It was an unusual set-up - the which dates back to the 2nd century. We stopped at Chester's dealers room and art show were both in one of the huge halls, and Houstead's, sites of Roman forts. Then we drove to Carlisle with temporary walls (with locking doors) as borders.
