IDIC STAR TREK FAN CLUB

[Janet Quarton]

IDIC STAR TREK CLUB

Covers all aspects of STAR TREK from the CAGE through the ORIGINAL SERIES,
MOVIES, NEXT GENERATION, DEEP SPACE NINE and into the future.


IDIC is an International Star Trek Club with over 1200 members worldwide.
We currently have members in Britain, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada,
Croatia, Denmark, Germany, France, Gibraltar, Holland, Ireland, Israel,
Italy, Japan, Malta, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Turkey
and the U.S.A.

UK dues u8.00.
Dues outwith the UK are: USA/Canada/Middle East Air u14.00 ($24.00);
Australia/Japan Air u15.00; Europe u10.00.

All members receive a membership card and 6 bi-monthly 80 - 100 page
newsletters. In the newsletters we try to provide the latest news on
current and proposed STAR TREK projects, episode, book and zine reviews,
actor profiles, members' comments, articles of general Trek interest and
more. We attempt to cover the whole spectrum of STAR TREK and STAR TREK
fandom in a positive fashion and we actively encourage members to contribute
material. The name of the club, IDIC ("Infinite Diversity in Infinite
Combinations"), reflects not only the philosophy of STAR TREK but also our
hopes for the club.

We have an extensive letters section where members can comment on or discuss
anything to do with Star Trek which interests them. There is a Friendship
corner where members can contact each other in their area or advertise for
penpals, a small ads section where members can advertise free of charge, a
zine ads section for those who collect fanzines and a general ads section
for conventions, clubs, local groups etc.

IDIC was formed in October, 1988 and the first newsletter was published in
December that year. The club is run by Janet Quarton, Sheila Clark &
Valerie Piacentini. To those who don't know us, Janet and Sheila have been
involved in active ST fandom since 1974 and Valerie since 1975. Janet and
Sheila took over STAG from Jenny Elson in 1975 and were joined by Valerie a
couple of years later. We ran STAG until 1981 when we passed the club on to
a new committee. Since then we have published zines under the press name
ScoTpress. Between STAG, ScoTpress and IDIC we have published over 200
zines to date. Enterprise - Log Entries, our ScoTpress Genzine, was three
times voted the Best British Zine at U.F.P. Con, and Enterprise - Log
Entries 84 and Make It So 4 recently won a Fan Q Award for editing at the
U.S. Media West Convention. Also, Variations on a Theme, a series of
stories written by Sheila and Valerie, won a Federation Class Award in the
1988 Surak Awards.

We publish club zines containing fiction, poetry and artwork on any theme
arising from the STAR TREK universe. Submissions for both IDIC and
ScoTpress zines are welcome, from both established fan writers and new ones.
