The British Star Trek Convention (series of cons)

The British Star Trek Convention is actually a long-running series of major cons, the first in 1974. While the producers of these cons were often different, there was enough cooperation that each one of these cons were labeled with a number. 
 
There were, of course, many other fan-run cons that were held that had no number and do not appear on this list.
==How the Cons Were Sorted Out==
For some history on early con organization, see the Open Letter called The Future of British Conventions.
There were to be two cons a year, one in the spring and one in the fall; the spring con was more popular than the autumn one. If no one bid to run the autumn one, the number would be lost. 
The place and time of the future conventions were voted on two years in advance at the business meeting.

==Some Mid-1980s Conflict==
Some fans became unhappy with the direction of the "official" cons. In 1984/85, there were many discussions regarding the "big" and "little" cons and which ones fans should support.
