CFG

The Cincinnati Fantasy Group, of Ohio, an influential fan club.

Founded by Charles R. Tanner, Ross Rocklynne and Dale Tarr in December 1935, the CFG is the third-oldest continuously running sf club. Don Ford, Roy Lavender, Lou Tabakow and Stan Skirvin were notable early members.

The CFG put on the CinVention in 1949, and are sponsors of the annual MidWestCon, one of the longest-running cons extant, and the first relaxacon.

The club is also the source of the ubiquitous fan-party seating practice, the CFG Rules.

The group is informal and meets casually in members' homes.
