SUNCON: About the Convention
Suncon is the 30th National Science Fiction Convention, and the first to be held in Brisbane and will be held at Brisbane Sheraton Hotel and Towers, Brisbane from the 29th March until the 1st April, 1991 (Easter).
The present cost of becoming a member is $50.00 for an attending membership and $15 for a supporting membership. These rates will apply until Easter 1990. A supporting membership can be converted to Attending at anytime before the convention simply by paying the difference between the Supporting rate and the current Attending rate.
This progress report will introduce you to one of our Fan Guests of Honour, a brief rundown on the city of Brisbane and the Sheraton Hotel, and of course some information on our guest of honour. Our next Progress Report will introduce you to some of our committee who are well known in Queensland but few people south of the border would know them. Also some information on our second Fan Guest of Honour, some more insights to Brisbane and information concerning our Lit. Comp.
