In 1978 we planned and held our first science fiction convention in Winnipeg. We were using the name The Winnipeg Science Fiction Society which we had borrowed from Chester Cuthbert. He was the only existing member of the club that had been formed in 1951. We had the convention in the Winnipeg OPlanetarium theater and meeting rooms. We had some dealers, some talks, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Bambi Meets Godzilla, refreshments and sitting about talking. I remember we had a pretty good time and the club made some money. I moved away from town a couple of months later. You can see the whole booklet on Flickr.
