Other First Convention
On January 3, 1937, the British fans held their long-planned event at the Theosophical Hall in Leeds. Around twenty fans, including Eric Frank Russell and Arthur C. Clarke. This was unquestionably a convention, but it was also unquestionably after the first convention in Philadelphia (which was less clearly a convention).
