Issue 111 of the GSPS Newsletter was a Special Colour Supplement Edition recounting the various wonderful happenings at the 2003 Goonvention at Royal Holloway, Egham. This gathering of Goonatics is also remembered as the Great Grandson of a Weekend Called Fred.
As well as activities at Royal Holloway, many members also ventured further into London for the unveiling of a blue plaque at Orme Court, where Spike Milligan and Eric Sykes famously shared the office for many decades.
Hopefully, this brings back many happy memories for those who were lucky enough to have attended. And as for those poor souls who couldn’t be there, well hopefully they will be able to savour these first-hand accounts and pictures.
