The Programme Booklet or, to give it its actual title 'The Science Fiction Association Second Annual General Meeting & Convention Official Programme & Agenda', is a four-page booklet that does what it says in that overlong name. The report is a booklet giving an account of what actually happened there.

(Note: This convention was later - much later - dubbed 'Necronomicon' in a bizarre advertisment for the 1957 Worldcon bid. It has never been called this other than in that single instance, neither before, nor since.)

Many years later, Ron Holmes recalled:

"Druids hall ... had a fine set-piece of a stone altar and lights which could simulate the dawn. The main feature was a lecture by Prof. A. M. Low. However, my most vivid memory was arriving at Euston with Dave McIlwain (Charles Eric Maine) where we were to meet Sam Youd (John Christopher) ** for the first time, where the crowd was so dense that Dave had to wave over his head the symbol of recognition - a copy of "Weird Tales" with a nude Brundage cover." - NESFIG NEWSLETTER #9 (April 1976)

Harry Turner's son Philip adds:

"The list of names for 2nd SFA Convention includes "Tozer". My father had a schoolfriend and fellow SF enthusiast called Fred Tozer -- there's a picture of them here:

It's such an uncommon name that I would suggest that he probably went to the Con with my father."
