Reactions and Reviews: February 1983

Always noteworthy with details of club activities, book review of that banned ST book plus an article on William Shatner with a nostalgia photo from 1969. [1]

A reorganised issue. Good issue with things to read and participate in. Seems a lively, loving group. Hi folks! Just a hint to the eds; the special effects seemed to crowd the print occasionally. $6 p.a. [2]

Reactions and Reviews: June 1983

A good read read as usual although lots of local news more than anything else. Lots of articles. A good read throughout. Worth getting. [3]

Folded A4 xerox format. Clubzine for the SASTREK Star Trek Club. As usual an impeccable production with lots to read including an article on Christine Chapel and activities of club interest and information about this year's convention. Wish I could be there! An enthusiastic and thoroughly nice group! [4]

Reactions and Reviews: May 1986

Once more Sastrek have produced their informative magazine. Two book reviews, Galactic Tours reports, good picture of a surprised Katy Manning and club news are the main features. Perhaps channel 9 station executives should see this issue, they might see something to their advantage! This issue is in contrast to the last one, perhaps Sastrek should try to publish every 6 to 8 weeks so each issue would more comprehensive. [5]

17pp, zerox. This month's issue has an interesting article on Omega Centauri from Omega Science Digest - Genesis Report (Oct 11-12) - all the updated news for this con; a book report on "Dreadnought' and "Klingon Dictionary" (just the book when lost for words). Worth reading. [6]
