A relaxacon held August 8–10, 1975, at Margie and Joel Lessinger's home in Minneapolis by the Nocres SF Social Club.

Jackie Franke wrote in Twixt 3 (September 1975):

Martha Beck, Karen Anderson (a former Wilmot, Wisc, fan who now lives in Wheaton, Ill.), and I drove up to Minneapolis to spend the weekend at Margie and Joel Lessinger's for the first NocresCon. Nocres, a social club headed by Chuck Holst, Bev Swanson, Madman Mark Riley, and a few others, is made up of MinnStfers who seek more conversation and partying than is found at the regular MinnStf meetings. About thirty fans showed up, and we had a great weekend of talk, bridge games, picnicking, and smoking and drinking. Almost another Wilcon in spirit.

Despite Jackie’s reference to “the first,” it’s unclear whether there were further NocresCons.
