Empathy Star Trek Club was a UK based Star Trek fan club that also published fanzines under the name of Empathy Press (1970s) which later became Empathy Publications.

The club organized the TerraCon Star trek conventions, as well as EmpathicCon.

It also published the fiction zines Emanon, Tricorder, and Contact, as well as the newsletters Empathy News as well as many other zines.

In 1976 as listed in an issue of Empathy News, the president was Catherine Owens, the vice president was Barbara Kitson, the secretary/treasurer was Dorothy 'Dot' Owens, and the "general factotum" was Carol Keogh. In another 1976 of that newsletter, the president was Catherine Owens, two Vice Presidents were Barbara Kitson and Carol Keogh, and the secretary/treasurer was Dot Owens.[1]

Dot Owens was Catherine Owen's mother.
