LONDON CIRCLE DISRUPTS
Although it had been hoped that the overnight Symposium held
at the beginning of October would strengthen internal relationships,
the London Circle was disbanded at its business meeting of Friday,
16th October, following the resignation of Chairman Ted Tubb. It
was agreed to revert to the system of seven months ago, social
meetings at the Globe and no business meetings at the White Horse.
The Globe meetings will continue to take place on the first Thursday
of each month. It is still intended to hold the 1960 convention in
London and the provisional date has now been changed from Whitsun
to Easter.
Some London fans held a meeting in a room made available at Inchmery
on Friday, 23rd October, when a new Club - the Science-Fiction Club
of London - was formed. Ella Parker was elected Chairwoman and Jim
Groves, 29 Lathom Road, East Ham, London E6, is Hon. Secretary.
Meetings will be held twice a month. The membership is already over
the dozen mark and plans include the formation of the first 8mm cine
film unit in the London area, and group participation in future
conventions with both films and tapes.
