First let me excuse myself for my poor english. I hope everybody understands
what i'm trying to say
The worldcon, it's called confiction, is held from august 23rd to august 27th
1990 in the Netherlands Congress Center in the Hague. It's the first worldcon
in twenty years in the old world, the last was in Heidelberg. We're very proud
that we can organize this convention and you can be sure it's going to be great
fun. The people from our committee have a lot of expirience because of the
Beneluxcon's some of them have organized or were involved with. The know what
they are doing so don't miss our Confiction.
GUEST'S OF HONOUR
We think we have a very impressive guest of honour list so far. See for

MEMBERS'S
At this moment whe have over 2400 members spread all over the world, from
Finland to Australia. If you're not a member, why don't you join us. The more
people, the more fun we say in Holland.
HOTEL and TRAVEL
We have signed a contract with a well known tour operator to secure optimal
service for every member. It's called Convention travel international. They
have a lot of experince with these kind of conventions so you don't have to
worry if the room you have reserved does not exist.
The Noth-Amarican members will be served by Ask Mr Foster in liaison with
Convention travel international.
We're not sure when the Hotel forms will be mailed out, but you can be sure
that you get one when you're a member.

================================================================================
IMPORTANT
ConFiction --- WorldCon 1990 --- The Hague, The Netherlands, now
has an OFFICIAL e-mail address.
The address :
BITNET : U00254@HASARA5
UUCP : mcvax!hasara5.bitnet!u00254
DECNET : SARA5::U00254
ARPA : [email protected] or : U00254%[email protected]
Addresses have been tested. In case of a problem: Route via the
MCVAX (either for UUCP or ARPA), the MCVAX is standing next to the
HASARA5 VAX (or so I'm told), so that should work.
Postal address, general info + tourist information will follow in
seperate files. This file will be re-posted every two months, the
other files will be re-posted every 3 months (postal address + general
info) or 4 months (tourist info + extended info). As 1990 approaches,
the frequency of re-posting may increase.
(To the moderator of SF-LOVERS : Saul, could you include all of
these files in the digests also? Many non-usenet sites will otherwise
be deprived of this info. I will post this to
rec.arts.sf-lovers/drwho/startrek. Saw your name on the list, see you
in 1990! JC)
DISCLAIMER :
I am **NOT** a member of the organizing committee and am **NOT**
responsible for the program/organization/etc. of ConFiction. I only
act as an e-mail go-between. I **DO** however have "official" backing
of the organizing committee, I've discussed this with them, they've
supplied me with info and I guarantee that any e-mail sent to me (see
rules below) will be forwarded to the chairman of the committee (Kees
van Toorn). I cases of doubt/emergency I will contact him by phone.
GOAL/PURPOSE of this venture :
A)To provide the SF community with up-to-date info, general info,
addresses and tourist info of the 1990 WorldCon. This will be done by
posting to:
rec.arts.sf-lovers
rec.arts.startrek (only this file, other files just ONCE)
rec.arts.drwho (only this file, other files just ONCE)
STAR TREK CSNOTICE (CSNEWS@MAINE, only this file, other files just ONCE)
For BITNET users: I will open a CSNOTICE at CSNEWS@MAINE. All
files will be send to this Server also, and can be obtained by sending
a MESSAGE (interactive 'send message' mode) to CSNEWS@MAINE with the
following contents:
SEND ME WORLDCON CSNOTICE FROM CSBB
The file will be send to you in NETDATA format (use 'RL' (IBM) or
'RECEIVE' (VAX) or somesuch). PLEASE, don't ask me to assist you with
this server, as I don't have the time to help you (requests to
bitbucket), the server responds to 'HELP', 'INFO' or try 'DIR * * FROM
PUBLIC' (messages only).
B)As a MAILBOX for questions etc.
Most importantly: Changes of address, verification of your
membership (in case you haven't heard anything for months),
suggestions, minor/major disasters etc.
*** RULES OF CONDUCT ******* and @@@@@@ WHAT I WILL DO @@@@@@@
A) Rules of conduct.
Clearly state in the subject line of your message : WORLDCON. Optional :
your own subject. E.g. :
Subject: WORLDCON
Subject: WORLDCON, change of address
Subject: WORLDCON, Membership verification
Etc.
PLEASE NOTE :
I CANNOT guarantee that your message will escape oblivion if you DO NOT
include 'WORLDCON' in your subject line!
Keep your messages/requests short and to-the point. DO NOT send lengthy
essays via the NET, send those via slow mail, in order to avoid undue
pressure on my node (AND **** MY MAILBOX !!!! ****).
PLEASE don't ask me to become your pen-pal. I LOVE writing long letters and
such, but I already have SIX e-mail penpals and I do not have the time to
write to more..... sorry.....
B) WHAT I WILL DO.
All mail will be dumped to I) 3."5 disk II) hardcopy. So it's imperative
that you include the subject line. The disk is a back-up, the hard-copies
will be frequently send to the chairman of WorldCon ( at least once aweek).
In case of an 'emergency' I will contact the organization by phone.
As long as the number of letters is relatively small
(less than, say, 15 aweek), I will acknowledge receipt of your message. As
soon as this quotum is exceeded (I will give due warning), no more
acknowledgements will be send, as this sort of thing is done during office
hours, and I would *hate* to explain this little venture to my boss :-).
===== IMPORTANT=======
Be SURE to include an e-mail address that has been tested
(preferably from a BITNET site), I'm quite good at routing, but I'm
only an astronomy Ph.D. student, and no net-God..... People on nodes
like '.SPAN' : please include the most recent routing to/from a BITNET site.
======================
For more info: See the other files....
We have every intention of making confiction a big success, please
help us to the best of your abilities!

================ IMPORTANT NOTICE ============
The membership rates are based upon the current daily exchange
rate of the US dollar. Should the dollar drop by more than 10 percent
of the current value (as per November 16, 1987 = progress report 1),
i.e. $1.00 = Dfl 1,80. Otherwise, we are forced to adjust the price to
match the exchange rate of the Dutch Membership rates. However, if the
dollar rises and passes the Dfl 2,00 limit, US membership rates will
be adjusted. Members who have paid too much during that period will be
reimbursed at ConFiction. This upon showing a receipt that will be
mailed out by the end of each year. Fluctuations of less than $5.00
will not be reimbursed, as banking fees and administration costs are
equal to, or even exceed $5.00.
ConFiction offers you two sorts of membership : Attending and
Supporting. Either choice entitles you to voting rights for the Hugo
Award and for the site election for 1993 (by mail or at the convention
itself), of all the Progress Reports, any Newsletter appearing after
you have joined, the programme book and any post-convention
publication. An Attending Membership also buys you the right to attend
ConFiction and all the programmes therein, including the meetings of
the World Science Fiction Society business meetings. As a Supporting
member, you may convert to an Attending member at any time by paying
the difference between an Attending and Supporting membership.
Until December 31, 1988 the rates, payable in US dollars, pounds
sterling, Deutsche Marken or Dutch Guilders, are :
US pounds Dutch Deutsche
Dollars sterling guilders Marken
Attending 65 37.50 120 110
Supporting 28 16 50 45
Children's 17 9 30 27
Admission (*)
(*) For children under 14 in 1990; children under the age of 3
have free admission. Children's admission may only be purchased in
combination with an Attending membership. Children under the age of 14
have no rights to vote on selection or Hugo's, but children over 3 (in
1990) are entitled to any publication (and to attending the con).
(Editor's note : rates haven't changed ( 16-2-88 ) as far as *I*
know, since the dollar hasn't changed THAT much since November.)
=================== M E M B E R S H I P P A Y M E N T ===================
ALL membership payments must be made payable to :
STICHTING WorldCon 1990
P.O. BOX 95370
2509 CJ The Hague
The organization accepts Access, MasterCard and EuroCard. Please,
make out your payments ( by international money order, or credit card)
in Dutch currency only (Dfl). We do prefer payment by credit card,
thus avoiding the rather expensive banking conversion rates.
Alternatively payments may also be made through your agent in local
currency (see above list). For people in (European) countries with
GIRO accounts :
GIRO account 237884 (to be credited to : Stichting WorldCon 1990, The Hague,
The Netherlands)
Dutch members can also use the (AMRO) bank account 482688041 (credited to:
see GIRO account)
================================================================================
============================== P L E A S E =====================================
================================================================================
Please do NOT send your membership application to U00254 @
HASARA5, but to the listed address, plus the appropriate admission
fee. Any applications, directed via the e-mail address will be DELETED!!!
================================================================================
================================================================================

International), with an excellent reputation and co-operating with the

Please do not enter information twice in this notefile!! This can
be very confusing for the readers.
Altough I'm also not a member of the organizing commite I've strong
contacts with them because I see them each month. They have agreed
to give me any important information as soon as it comes up.
The one and only contact with the commite are through the postage
address I supplied or trough this notesfile, but the postage address
is the only way you will be sure that you're questions will reach
the commite.
Anyone who has additional information about the con is welcome to
add it of course. But double information can work very confusing.

Who of you have been to the confiction?
It was GREAT! If you haven't been there you have missed a lot.
This was realy a well organised Con in which EVERYBODY had a great
time. If there wasn't a panel that interrested you (that were only few)
there was a continous film and video program, a charade marathon, games
a art-show and dealers room. There was no moment I was even a little bit
bored. We had an (after-all) great masquarade show and a great play by
Brian Aldis: SF-Blues.
Allas, I didn't see everything and know I missed a lot.
Reinier.
