Got back a litle earlier from the George Hotel in Kettering, where I'd spent the weekend in 1958 -- or rather at Cytricon V, commemorating the events at that same hotel a half-century ago which led to the creation of the modern British Science Fiction Association. Much fun ensued.

Pictured: Cytricon V chair Peter Weston chats with guest of honour Ina Shorrock, who also attended Cytricon IV a mere four decades ago. Her fellow guest, Peter Mabey, was active in British sf fandom during that same period, but never actually made it to any of the Kettering conventions.
