A 1977 Bio
From Who's Who in Star Trek Fandom:
Secretary at the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation - the people responsible for showing [and not showing] STAR TREK over here [in the UK]. Joyce got into fandom about 5 years ago as a passive fan, but has been an active fan for about 2 1/2 years, but her interest in SF in general goes back to her early teens. She was first introduced to Star Trek "by my landlord at the digs I stayed at while I was at college! I eventually got in touch with other fans and became an 'active' fan through an advert in the magazine 'Science Fiction Monthly.'"
Joyce currently belongs to The London Plus Group (ST/SF oriented), STAG, Empathy, Beyond Antares, LNAF, NENA, MLIFC, and Halkan Council. She is on the committee of Alnitah, a British Star Trek fanzine...
She also helps in the production of the Grope series, an adult ST fanzine also available from Ann Looker. She has had poetry published in City 1 & 2 (fanzine of the London Plus Group), Alnitah 3, and STAG 10th Anniversary Newsletter. She has had short stories in More Grope, and Log Entries 6 (a STAG zine). She has had cartoons in Alnitah 4, and STAG 10th Anniversary Newsletter and had several LOCs in various American and British newsletters.
Joyce is helping to compile Alnitah 5 and is also helping to put out a new edition in the Grope series. The Alnitah committee ran a one-day Mini-Con held in Richmond, Surrey, England, on June 5th, 1976. It was the first London Star Trek convention and was a successful occasion.
She also entered a poetry contest for the first time at the British Star Trek Convention (Terracon in Leeds, 8-10 October, '76). One of her poems, 'Balance,' came first in the Serious Poem Section, and another, 'An Appointed Difference,' was highly commended.
Joyce also likes reading SF, attending SF conventions, writing poetry, cooking, ice-skating, eating out, playing the piano and travelling. She has spent several months in the States, USSR and Sweden.
