Have you chaired any conventions? (E-L list)

[hazelchaz]

Have you served as chair for a fannish convention, and believe you can lay your hands on a list of chairs? (I'll settle for all the chairs through your year, for example if you printed that in your program book.) I'm trying to build up my reference data that I use when I update Fan Gallery bio captions.

I have some info already on file, I'll be summarizing them in chunks.

Conventions (E-L) that I already have some chair info for.

Eastercon. Many recent chairs, see below. My notes here if you want to check my work.
FanHistoricon, through 2002.
Foolscap, through 2004.
Gallifrey One, through 2004.
Gaylaxicon, 1988 only.
Genericon (New York), 1992 only.
HexaCon, 1997-2006.
InCon (Spokane), 1990-2001.
Lepracon (Wenatachee WA), complete, 2001-'02.

Eastercon chairs

[hazelchaz]

Thank you very much!

[timill]

I chaired 1989 (Contrivance, Jersey) and 1993 (Helicon, Jersey).
1987 (Beccon, Birmingham International) had no committee chair, but Roger Robinson (who wasn't on the committee) was the notional Chair. This is Fandom; it doesn't have to make sense.
1980 (Albacon '80, Glasgow) was the fake Bob Shaw.

1980-1993

[hazelchaz]

I have added your Eastercon chairs info into my master files.

1977 (Eastercon '77, Coventry) Pauline Dungate
1978 (Skycon, Heathrow) Kevin Smith (odd: memory says he was Treasurer. Maybe he was both)
1979 (Yorcon, Leeds) Mike Dickinson

1977-1979

Thank you! I have added your Eastercon chairs info into my master files.

I'm not as worried about people who have gafiated long since, by the way...

1996-2013

I have added your Eastercon chairs info into my master files.

And two more -- I chaired 1995, Confabulation London Docklands

1988 Follycon Liverpool didn't have a chair, it was a co-operative collective. Memo: don't do this.

arrgh, sorry, thought you knew. Yes. This is a very old photo...

Re: Bohemian Name

[hazelchaz]

I just wanted to make sure I got the last name, seeing as your daughter's name is Cain.

Re: Bohemian Name

[bohemiancoast.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's right -- though I would have been Scott then anyway; it was before drplokta and I separated.

I have chaired ConFusion three times. The past chairs of ConFusion are listed on the Stilyagi website at http://archive.stilyagi.org/past_years.html

Noting that I, Anne K Gray, am listed as Anne Murphy, as that was my name at the time.

I created that web page listing Confusion GoHs and Chairs and am glad to see it is still being maintained. I hope that continues. I created it as a tool for future Registration heads at ConFusion, since by our policies everyone on it has a free membership for life.

Confusion list

Thanks! I have Confusion's chairs through 2014 per my previous post for A-D, but I appreciate your confirming that I've been using the correct source material!
