EASTERCON (1965)

THE FORTIETH CUCKOO
Ken Cheslin.

I'm sorry that this is a thinnish issue, but nothing much has come up that is newsworthy. Hmm. the cover is an old illo of MiK's I had lying around, he's so busy I didn't like to ask him to cut me a new one.

We finally decided on what films to show. I've seen both, the second one about half a dozen times, but they'll be worth reshowing, and one for laughs.. they are WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE, FORBIDDEN PLANET, and 12 episodes of a CAPTAIN MARVEL serial....

Well, London has got the WORLCON in 1965. The last time a Worldcon was held outside the States was in 1957, also in London.

Somewhere, probably in that Invaluable, Indispensible SKYRACK, I've seen rates for the Worldcon, but darned if I can find that SKY. Anyhow I do know that

I boobed in that I sent round the Doc Weir Voting Forms to the BSFA. I now discover that ONLY people registered for the convention are supposed to have the vote. I also see now, (he says feeling malevolent) the wisdom for such a rule, because you should see some of the people that have got votes.
I reccommend that you vote for someone like Ella Parker, (my own choice), Ken Slater, and maybe Ron Bennett, Terry Jeeves, Joe Navin. At least try to use your vote sensibly, please? k m p cheslin.
