April 1990 Pt.1d UK Anime Fandom.
I
can not after all this time (24 years have passed by) remember all
those who where there at the meeting, only a few stick in my mind,
luckily some of my letters from fellow UK Anime fans that have
survived to this day to fill the gaps in my memory.
EASTCON
'90 meeting attendees:-
Ashley
(editor of Mektek), Carlo Bernhardi (Myself), Paul Davison, Ian
(friend of Paul Davison), Keith (friend of Paul Davison), Helen
McCarthy, Richard
Poffley, and Jim
Swallow (James Swallow).
Helen
McCarthy would like to add;
Peter
J. Evans, Peter Evans, Harry Payne, Wil Overton, David Rowe, and
Jonathan Weeks, to the list of attendees.
[NOTE:
I will endeavour to contact as many attendees for their
recollections of that day as I can.]
Jonathan Weeks Wrote "I never attended any Eastercons. My first contact with fandom was Animeday (1991)" (Posted on FB messenger march 2020).

DATE to be confirmed June\July 1990 (as Helen's first house meeting is Saturday 21st. July)
What
follows is passages from the Post EasterCon'90 Contact news-sheet
(from
Helen McCarthy & Steve Kyte), I hope these last few Blog pages
have given you all an insight into what it was like and how it all
started.
“KONNICHIWA!
Japanese
for "hello, how are you," it seems a good way to start.
You're
getting this because you were at the EASTCON 90 bar meeting or else
have written to me to express an interest in Anime Fandom in the UK,
and since it didn't really exist before EASTCON you're part of the
setup crew!
It
was nice to meet so many Anime enthusiasts at the con and I'm sorry I
didn't have a chance to talk more to everyone running most of a
programme stream plus the Art Show is a silly thing to do and doesn't
leave you time for much else but hope to remedy this in the next few
months. As I said at the con.
I
think the 'best way we can ensure the wider circulation of Anime
tapes and easier contact between fans is to do a newsletter and
fanzine which will at least provide a point of contact to start with,
and to try and set up viewing sessions in as many areas as possible.
Please
get in touch with. others on the attached list and please set up
local showings if you can.
Let
us have any Information for future issues of the news-sheet -
addresses~. contacts, anything you think would be of interest to
other fans.
And
now for the news from ANIME UK.....
[NOTE:
Helen & Steve included an open house for viewings, as many of us
did in those days. People all huddled around a small TV in a
front-room or Bed-room.]
SATURDAY
21ST JULY - 2 p.m. NIGHT ON THE GALACTIC RAILROAD; PATLABOR; other
items. Mostly in Japanese.
SUNDAY
5TH AUGUST - 2 p.m. BUBBLEGUM CRISIS: THE FIVE STAR STORIES, other
items. Mostly in Japanese.
SATURDAY
29TH SEPTEMBER - 2 p.m. Programme TBA depending what we get in the
interim.
We
have only a certain amount of oxygen in the living-room so we CAN'T
take more than ten people per showing. If you want to come please
phone or write right away and book your airspace!
ANYONE
ELSE WHO CAN HOLD SHOWINGS PLEASE LET ME KNOW SO I CAN PUBLISH
DETAILS.
PLEASE WRITE on anything anime related - this newsletter needs your input!!!!!!!
[There was a contact List including 27 UK individuals...]
[NOTE: I will endeavour to contact as many attendees for their recollections of that day as I can.]
To
be continued..........Post Con thoughts...
