Cytricon III
Eastercon 8, Cytricon III, was a convention held in Kettering April 19-21, 1957. There was no GoH. The committee was Dave Newman and Norman Shorrock.
This was for many years the 'lost' Eastercon. It was lost as early as 1959 when it was omitted from Fancyclopedia 2 (see Cytricon) and perhaps because of that it was omitted from the first list of Eastercons included in the programme book for Eastercon 22 in 1971 with 1958's Cytricon IV re-numbered as Cytricon III. It's not clear why nobody said anything as people present at Cytricon III were credited with 'advice and assistance' on Fancyclopedia 2 while others were present at Eastercon 22 when the list was first published.
The list was recycled in most subsequent Eastercon programme books until Rob Hansen rediscovered the original Cytricon III in 1989. No programme book is believed to exist.
