This is so very fun I had to post it immedialy for all of you to see.  I do not think we will be going and it is LDS conference weeked but we should plan something..........let's get our minds together and see what we can do for our meeting the following week!! Wil Ross   We are contacting you with information about an event that we are organising in the UK in April 2013 and the wider impact this is going to have for Star Trek fans across the World. We are the USS Fortitude and are an active Star Trek group here in the UK. We are aware that next year will be the 50th Pre-Anniversary of First Contact Day: 5 April 2063. We are organising a national event inviting Star Trek fans across the UK and beyond to join us at the UK’s National Space Centre on Saturday 6th April 2013 to celebrate this unique anniversary. There is no charge for people to attend, there will be an area where Trek ships and groups can have a table advertising their group, events and charities they support, and also a dealers area – in addition to the fantastic exhibitions that the Space Centre offers. The aims of the day are to have fun, renew existing friendships and most importantly provide an opportunity to make First Contact with the many lone Trek fans out there and welcome them to the amazing Trek community we have here in the UK. We have a second aim – and it is for this reason we have contacted Starfleet International and why we are contacting you. We want to inspire and encourage Trek fans in every community and country across the World to unite in celebration of First Contact Day. Starfleet International will be contacting the SFI Chapters about this forthcoming Anniversary so look out for their announcement scheduled for the near future. We all have extended connections to Trek fans globally and we want to make the 50th Pre-Anniversary of First Contact Day an event to remember, and really bring Star Trek to the attention of the World. To that end we are inviting Trek ships and groups across the World to join in and support our idea, to help take this to the four corners of the World and to encourage Star Trek fans everywhere to organise events on all continents and to come together in the spirit of First Contact. We know that organising events takes time – and the reason we are contacting you now. Thanks for your time Wil Ross
