UK CONVENTION EPHEMERA
& SPECIAL PUBLICATIONS

This is a listing of those items produced for various conventions over and above the standard badge, programme book, etc. These would have been commissioned or produced *by* the convention and do not include unofficial items produced *for* the con by others, such as Combozines and badge ribbons. Items included in membership packs like, say, a bar of chocolate or a bar of soap would not count unless they had special packaging bearing the name of the convention. Occasionally, conventions have issued non-badge promotional items beforehand as part of the bidding process. These will be listed with (p) after them.

Since 1979 - with gaps - NOVACON has published a chapbook featuring material by that year's Guest(s) of Honour. A listing of these can be found here.

* a standard Murphy's glass on which James Bacon wrote the convention name in red
paint -- all attendees got one.

**According to Mark Plummer, who co-edited it with Claire Brialey, this "was quasi independent, I think mainly because we weren't sure we could do it and didn't want to commit. It was retrospectively partially funded by the convention but was a sale item in the fan room."

My thanks to S&ra Bond, Claire Brialey, Bill Burns, Rob Jackson, Dave Langford, Mark Plummer, and Alison Scott for their help in assembling this table, and/or supplying photos and scans.
