NOVEMBER '90 CONVENTION LISTING

Upcoming Conventions
--------------------
The conventions below are either Doctor Who and/or Blake's 7 oriented.
In general, it is a good idea to send a self-addressed, stamped,
envelope (SASE) with your request for information. More detailed
information is available for some of these cons (those that say
FLYER AVAILABLE) using the mail server that is available (see the
monthly message on the server for info on how to use it). If you
have more current information on a con, or know about one that
isn't on this list, please mail me the info at:
att!cbnewsl!mom
or
m...@cbnewsl.att.com
I am particularly interested in cons with a Dr. Who, Blake's 7,
British TV, or related theme or guests. Information about cons
anywhere in the world is welcome.
