AfternoonThe Convention crawled into life on Friday with a showing of the TV series in the video room. The second programme sprung into life at 6pm as Amyl and Simo told anecdotes about previous conventions until the hotel demanded that someone went and ate in their restaurant at which point the room emptied!At 7 Alan Sullivan took the mickey out of the Ever So Personal Column of MH and at 8 the main programme erupted with "The Opening Ceremony". Opening CeremonyHosted by Jerry "Springer" Thomas and with fantastic special effects by our Techmeister - Rich Challis - all attendees were introduced to the "two team" theme of the Con as Vl'Hurgs Mike Cule, Amyl and Alan S shook fists at the evil G'Gugvuntts Simo, Squaddie and Silas.This was followed by the Terry Vogon Show as Terry, in genuine TV series costume loaned to the Con by John Philpott, interviewed people and touched their knees while threatening to read them poetry. EveningThe evening continued with the 1978 Disco as Glam Rockers and punks strutted their funky thangs to the sounds of the seventies and concluded with dozens of us cramming into the video room for a midnight showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
