(1970 -- )

A British fan, fanzine editor and con-runner who first found fandom in 1986. She is the partner of Mark Plummer, with whom she lives in Croydon (UK).

Alongside fanzine and convention activity, she has been a committee member for ZZ9 Plural Z Alpha (1989-94) and the BSFA (1996-2001); she was the awards administrator for the BSFA (2004-6, and 2008) and the FAAn Awards (2016), and a judge for the Rotsler Award (2007-14) and the Arthur C. Clarke Award (1999-2000). She has managed the UK treasuries for GUFF and TAFF for some years, and continues to help with organisation of auctions and other fundraising (including as part of the UK League of Fan Funds since 2003).

Her first convention committee was Eroticon Six in 1991, followed by Vocon (1993), Inconceivable (1994) and Inconsistent (1996). While running small fun conventions she somehow joined the Board and committee for the 1995 Worldcon (Intersection, in Glasgow) and turned to the committee for the 1998 Eastercon (Intuition, in Manchester) as light relief. With Mark Plummer she has been on con committees for Corflu (a fanzine convention) in 2010 and 2015, and ConRunner 4 in 2017; they have also worked together on publications and programme for other Eastercons and British Worldcons. Her other work on conventions has included promotions, memberships, finance, overseas agent, GoH liaison, volunteer management, and chairing. Claire joined the committee of the online Punctuation 2 in 2021 and is on the committee for the 2023 Eastercon (Conversation), after which she might or might not give up conrunning again, until the next time.
