» Past Committees:
By the end of 1990, an idea was put forward to organise a second major Doctor Who convention for the Club, entitled Necros '93, with the intention of inviting Colin Baker (6th Doctor) as guest of honour. Unfortunately nothing was to come of the convention, but as a fund-raiser for the main event, a Mini-Convention was organised for the Australia Day weekend in 1992.
Mark Strickson (Turlough) was the special guest for the mini-con held at the Little Theatre, Adelaide University. A variety of unique events were organised including a play performed by the committee in which Turlough was on trial for his life.
1991 saw the Club's second publication produced, the Newsheet, which was initially instigated so that CHAMELEON FACTOR could be produced less often, due to a drop in contributions, and the Newsheet be produced in the times between issues. By the 21st issue of the Newsheet, it was finally given the name THE WALL OF LIES. Also in 1991 a special home-made video was screened called 'Blake's 7 Almost', as well as the bloopers from the video which were considerably longer than the actual story!
In August 1992, the Club relocated to arguably its best venue, Christian Brothers College.
The Club had use of a large cinema style screen, with tiered seating, and stereo surround sound. This venue was well received and helped to boost membership. With Doctor Who out of production, the committee began to introduce other Sci Fi and cult programmes at meetings, including a number of video marathons purely for this purpose. During 1992 the committee introduced dual meetings on the meeting day with one held during the afternoon and one held during the evening.
At the September 1992 meeting, the Club was fortunate to acquire the services of Sandra Reid, a.k.a. Alexandra Tynan, who was costume designer for Doctor Who during the black and white era, and had the honour of designing the costumes for the first Cybermen in 'The Tenth Planet'. Sandra entertained members with her stories of working on Doctor Who and discussed her work on 'The Evil of The Daleks', which was the story shown at the meeting.
