| From Fancyclopedia 2, ca. 1959 |
| Ken Slater organized this group to get around the exchange restrictions on stf and money just after World War II. It prospered well till Ken retired it from activity as a fan group around 1955. Useful work included publication of a large and well-duplicated Official Organ named after the club, including data of current and historical interest. Ken apparently kept most of the reins and responsibility in his own hands, a point deserving the attention of others who meditate on general fan organizations.
from Fancyclopedia 2 Supplement ca. 1960: Ken Slater's commercial enterprise is called simply Fantast (Medway) Ltd", not Operation Ditto. |
The club also published the Operation Fantast Handbook. See also Operation Fantast Handbook and Operation Fantast Newsletter.
The club published a fanzine also named Operation Fantast beginning in 1949

| This is a club page. Please extend it by adding information about when and where the club met, when and by whom it was founded, how long it was active, notable accomplishments, well-known members, clubzines, any conventions it ran, external links to the club's website, other club pages, etc.
When there's a floreat (Fl.), this indicates the time or times for which we have found evidence that the club existed. This is probably not going to represent the club's full lifetime, so please update it if you can! |
