Excerpts
I vaguely remember seeing a couple of episodes of Star Trek when I was a child – in particular ‘Bread and Circuses’. Then, when Star Trek: The Next Generation began I really got hooked on Star Trek. When doing some post-graduate studies in 1994 the topic of science-fiction/Star Trek came up and one of my fellow students told me about a fan event she and her husband were attending that Friday night here in Toowoomba. She invited to take me along and that was my first taste. It was really a mini-mini convention, with a couple of episodes and a couple of dealer tables in a smallish room of a local motel. Unfortunately the woman in full ‘Ro Laren’ garb actually scared me a little. I then met a fellow fan in my church choir and when another friend of hers was unable to go to a Holodiction (November 1995) in Brisbane with her, she invited me. I loved it and have been a ‘member of fandom’ ever since.
