For those of you who don't have to return home immediately the 
Convention in over, I have been scouring round London for interesting things you 
might like to see and that will cost you nothing but the fare to get there. 
 First and foremost, of course, is the Changing of the Guard 
at Buckingham Palace. This is not held every day, but it can easily 
be checked in the daily papers which days it will be. Usually it is 
announced for 11-30 a.m. but we would advise you to be there early: 
especially if you want to get a good spot from which to take pics. 
        Visits can be made to the Public Records Office in Chancery 
Lane. This is the centre of the legal district - Inns of Court and 
the like which have very beautiful and peaceful gardens - iffen we 
should be lucky and have good weather! In the P.R.O. Museum can be 
seen the Domesday Book and other interesting historical documents. 
Hours are from Mon. thru Fri., 9-30a.m. - 5p.m. The Museum which is 
the most interesting part is only open 1p.m. - 4p.m.
Normally one has to have a Reader's ticket 
in order to handle the rarer exhibits
 
but a free temporary one can be had on 
application to the enquiry Desk. 
        Tours through the Houses of 
Parliament are made regularly, and 
we will be pleased to help you to get 
tickets for these. 
        There are also the Abbeys and
Cathedrals for those of you interested in architecture. You may 
have heard of the Whispering Gallery in St. Paul's Cathedral, 
where if you stand in one spot and whisper it can be heard clearly 
all round the gallery.    In Westminster Abbey are the memorials 
in Poet's Corner and elsewhere, which commemorate many of the 
famous of Britain. 
        These are just a few of the things which may catch your 
interest and will certainly pass a pleasant couple of hours for 
you.  I can't give you the Freedom of the City, but I can 
express the hope that you will find it as fascinating as 
I do . . . and I live here.        Ella Parker.

   The steep hills of Mali Losinj enclose a circular bay with 
a single, narrow entrance from the sea. On all sides woods come 
down to the shore and the water is wonderfully transparent. This 
is Yugoslavia at its very best. As you swim out from the rocky 
beach you can see that the same down-swooping angle of the hills 
is carried out underwater, and that the bay must be shaped like 
an inverted cone, terribly deep in the middle. Brian and I swam 
past an anchored sailboat and then dived to follow the anchor 
rope that went down and down and vanished in the green-dark 
depths below us. I surfaced, but Brian went deeper, coming up 
a good half-minute after me. 
      "The rope just keeps going on," he said, "you can't see the 
end of it. There's a whole other world there, a cathedral turned 
upside down." 
      And that's just what it was. I had dived and seen it, and 
now I had a description, the right words, to make it stick in my 
memory. Thanks to Brian who, though at various times, is a mighty 
swimmer, a hearty eater, an heroic drinker, a meat pie salesman, 
an editor, a reviewer, a critic and many other things besides, is 
first, last and always an artist. He is a richly creative writer 
in a field not too greatly endowed with this rare trait.

      I was more than pleased when I heard that be was to be 
Guest of Honour (Guest of Honor for the Americans) at the 23rd 
World Science Fiction Convention 1n London; I felt this choice a
most appropriate and correct one. If this convention is to be truly 
hands-across-the-sea, Brian W. Aldiss is the man for the job. He 
is as well traveled and cosmopolitan as any author should be, but 
remains pure English to the solid core. This, however, does not 
blind him in the slightest to either the strengths or weaknesses
of the British character - as a reading of the short stories in 
THE AIRS OF EARTH will quickly reveal. Yet is was American fandom, 
at an American convention who awarded him a much-deserved Hugo for the 
stories that were later brought together as HOTHOUSE. His books
have been translated into at least a half-dozen languages so that it 
can truthfully be said his reputation is worldwide. 
   By his works you shall know him. If we consult ITEM FORTY-THREE 
we will see many familiar titles that evoke sharp memories. (This 
booklet is a collector's item, a bibliography of Aldiss works
from 1954 to 1962 - hopefully Ken Slater may still have a few left 
in stock.) It is impossible to forget stories like OLD HUNDREDTH or 
POOR LITTLE WARRIOR! THE PRIMAL URGE is as exciting - and certainly 
more entertaining - than any fold-out centerspread from PLAYBOY.
I recall fondly a story like SHARDS that I thought was going nowhere - 
and I thought so wrongly that I had to turn back and read the entire 
story over again, mumbling with appreciation. Others, far wiser
than I, share these feelings, and it has become impossible to open 
an anthology these days without stumbling across an Aldiss story.  
   There is a temptation at this point to indulge in an orgy 
of plot-outline and analysis and to work my way through the Aldiss 
novels at great length. I will control myself to just two succinct 
statements. THE DARK LIGHT YEARS is a classic-to-come, a book that 
is going to stay in print and will eventually be recognized as one 
of the great works of our time. GRAYBEARD Is a classic of the here 
and now, a giant of a book that puts paid to the destruction-of-Earth 
theme once and for all. All of the earlier novels of this type 
become copybook exercises done to prepare the readership for this 
book. Big words? Big books. I'm not normally that free with
my praise as anyone who knows me will quickly agree. I'm just 
impressed, very impressed.

         The members of this convention are in luck: Aldiss in person  
is as interesting as Aldiss in print. He is accessible and has  
never been known to refuse a drink. If you don't know quite what
to say when you first met him - try sayings "Isn't this my round?"  
He will instantly answer yes and greet you by name, as long as your  
name is prominently displayed on your person and spelled out in  
Roman or Cyrillic letters. You must say round instead of asking  
him what he would like to drink because the chances are that I will  
be there as well and wish to enjoy some of the largess. I will
be there because I grow taller in Brian's company. I visit him
as often as I can so that some of his pleasure in life will rub off  
on me. I value his friendship as I do few others: I value his  
literary and critical abilities as I do no others. 
But this is your convention and he is your Guest of Honour.  
It was a wise choice and one that cannot help but make for a better  
convention. I Intend to enjoy myself here wallowing in the
pleasures of International fanac, and I know Brian will the doing  
the same. Won't you join us?

N O T E	 
This list of members is that received hers up to 14th July.  
Owing to several books of tickets being in use simultaneously, there  
are gaps in the numbering representing unsold tickets and ones sold but  
not yet reported (this particularly applies to ones sold by our US agent).  
A further consequence in that only within blocks of 50 can it be said that  
lower numbers were sold before higher ones.
Members are listed with their County (U.K.), State (U.S.) or country  
(elsewhere) - that in their postal address is used.

In Memoriam: Don Ford 
In April of this year fans all over the world were  
shocked and saddened by the news of the sudden death of  
Don Ford. He was only forty-four and we miss him sorely.  
In particular all those connected with or interested in  
the Transatlantic Fan Fund mourn him. He was the only  
fan to administer the Fund without actually having made  
the trip himself. Under the guidance of Don Ford and  
Walt Willis the Fund came safely through its period of  
teething troubles and Don himself was finally rewarded  
with a TAFF trip to the 1960 Easter London Convention at  
which he made many friends, thrilling the audience with  
a show of some of his many prize-winning colour slides  
and introducing to British fandom a new technique in  
party-throwing. 
Don always took a keen interest in fandom's many  
aspects and TAFF was always dear to his heart. To a  
large extent thanks to him, TAFF goes marching on, and  
TAFF will always remember and honour him.

At the Pittsburgh Convention in 1960, Bjo Trimble inaugurated Project
Artshow.  This is a Show which  not only late Con attendees see 
the work of many artists in fandom but enables the artist's work to be 
seen to its beet advantage - also it makes it possible for the artwork 
to be sold. This is the first time that Project Artshow has appeared 
outside the States, although it has been running very successfully 
since 1960, due of course to the devoted work of Bjo.
        A panel of judges has been chosen, who will judge the 
artwork during the Con weekend, so the results will be announced 
before the end of the Convention. There will also be a Popular 
Vote award, so remember to visit the Artshow and register your 
vote - voting forms will be at the desk by the door of the Show 
room, where you may also make enquiries about buying, or bidding 
for any of the exhibits, with the exception of the few which may 
be marked not for sale. 
        Awards are to be made in the following categories: 
 
- Astronomical Art
 - Fantasy Art
 - Heroic Fantasy
 - Children's Fantasy 
 - Outre Art 
  
 | 
- Experimental Art
 - Cartooning
 - Open Category
 - Fellowship of the Ring
 - Science Fiction Illustration

Photo Salon: 1.Black & White 2. Colour 3. Experimental
Popular votes open to all categories. 
Project Artshow wishes to thank all those who have helped in any 
way - those who helped to set up, watch over, and dismantle the 
Show at the end; and the judges who have the difficult task of 
trying to pick the best.  We hope that all the artists who
take part will do so profitably: 
Enquiries about this year's Show to Ethel Lindsay, about future
ones to: Bjo Trimble,5571 Belgrave Ave.,Eastgate, Garden Grove,

Rules of the Business Meeting
       The business meeting of the 23rd World S.F. 
Convention shall convene during the Monday morning 
August 30th, 1965 programme, session. The meeting 
shall be conducted informally insofar as possible 
but with recourse to Robert's Rules of Order as the 
final authority.
       The first phase of the meeting will be Chaired 
by Ella Parker, Convention Chaiman and will be solely 
concerned with the selection of a Convention site for 
the 1966 world Convention. 
       The first proposal will be that of Syracuse 
for permission to have their bid admitted for a 
vote.  They will be allowed five minutes to make 
their speech In support of this proposal; the 
opposition will also have five minutes, with a further 
two minutes each side for rebuttal. 
       In order to win admission to the bidding, 
Syracuse must gain a three-quarter majority vote. 
       This will then be followed - assuming the 
success of Syracuse - by the bid speeches. Ten 
minutes each side with a further three minutes each 
for rebuttal.    To ensure non-partisanship, names
will be drawn out of a hat to decide who speaks first 
in the bidding session. 
       When this part of the business has been concluded 
the Chair will be surrendered to George Scithers who, 
as Parliamentarian, will conduct the remainder of the 
meeting. 
       The first order of business will be the report 
of the HUGO Committee. This will be a preliminary 
report, open for discussion, not for a final vote. 
       Apart from this there is as yet, no further 
business.

Special Notices
E L E C T R I C I T Y
The normal electric outlets supply power 
at 250 volts, 50 cycles, but all bedrooms have 
razor sockets which also provide a supply at 
110 volts. 
C A R  P A R K I N G 
The Marble Arch area is a parking meter zone, so there 
are restrictions on parking near the hotel, although these are 
relaxed in the evening, at weekends, and on Bank Holidays - look 
out for the notices in the streets! (and check the times during 
which charges are made before putting money into a meter!) 
     Parking without lights is allowed on all roads with street 
lighting other than bus routes. 
     Garage parking is available adjacent to the hotel. 
L I Q U O R  L A W S 
 The British liquor laws are too complex to 
explain within the confines of this book, 
but the essential feature of interest to 
attendees is that adult hotel residents 
are allowed to purchase drinks at all 
hours, but non-residents may only 
do so during the nomal hours of licensing.
