OPERATION FANTAST

from Fancyclopedia 2

Ken Slater organized this group to get around the exchange restrictions on stf and money just after World War II. It prospered well till Ken retired it from activity as a fan group around 1955. [Still thriving as a commercial enterprise, Operation Fantast (Medway) Ltd.] Useful work included publication of a large and well-duplicated Official Organ named after the club, including data of current and historical interest. Ken apparently kept most of the reins and responsibility in his own hands, a point deserving the attention of others who meditate on general fan organizations.
