Above is a cleaned up (seriously!) scan of the cover for the Souvenir Convention Booklet issued after the convention.
It consisted of two foolscap sheets folded in half to give eight pages.
All the preceeding text used here was taken from this publication. One page was given over to describing
photos taken at the con, prints of which were available for purchase, this was another:
On the half of the back cover not reserved for the recipients postal address was an ad for the seven
fanzines then being published in the UK. Here is a photo of all those editors except OPERATION FANTAST's
Ken Slater taken outside the Russell Hotel during 1951's international convention

(STRAIGHT UP),
Walt Willis (SLANT), Bob Foster (SLUDGE), Vince Clarke & Ken Bulmer (SCIENCE FANTASY NEWS).
