SEACON 75
(For other Seacons, see the Seacon (Disambiguation) page.)
Eastercon 26, SEACON 75, was held over Easter, March 28-31, 1975 in Coventry – about as far from the sea as one can get in England; the name and capitalisation is explained by the acronym South East Area Convention (which didn't prevent many from spelling it simply Seacon). The attendance was record-breaking 550. The GoH was apparently Harry Harrison; however, Michael Moorcock was announced in both progress reports.
The con committee were Malcolm Edwards (chairman, artshow co-ordinator), Robert Holdstock (secetary, auction co-ordinator), Peter Roberts (treasurer), John Brosnan (Special Advisor: films), Graham Charnock, Pat Charnock (Fancy Dress co-ordinator), Christine Edwards, Leroy Kettle, John Piggott.
