Since Pages Bar closed , I'm very much out of touch with the startrek convention scene here in england. It's been over ten years since I went to one!  Does anyone know if there are any planned for next year?? And Has anyone on the site been to Pages??  blackhound x |

Pages, was up until a year or so ago, the StarTrek pub ;D
The owner Bob Benton was an avid Startrek fan, and turned his wine bar into a Startrek themed bar.
There was a six foot long Enterprise D suspended from the ceiling, and lots of other excellent items on display too!
Every Saturday night was StarTrek night, and anyone could dress up and go there to meet like minded people, drink scary coloured drinks, and have a lot of fun. He regurlarly had guests evenings where actors came and spent the evening. I had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Casey Biggs there!
I was gutted to have missed the night where Mark Alaimo, Casey Biggs and Jeffrey Combs were there together, I've heard that night was one to remember! ;D
Pages also hosted other sci fi themed evenings.
Buffy, Babylon 5 and others.
Sadly Bob decided to move on and pages is no more, but I have some very fond memoreis of excellent evenings spent there!

But are very grateful to Bob and his staff for all the work they put into it.

Thanks for the info kate, it looks brilliant. ;D
It will all depend on my finances at the time as I am going to Witchfest in London in May, and I may not be able to afford both!
I'm going to pass that website on to my nephew too, we share a passion for startrek!

There are several witchfests run throught the year, Two in london one in scotland and one in Wales. the biggest is in November each year, but the one in May is also excellent, but with fewer people attending (fewer queues too!) Here is the web address. www.witchfest.net/It is run by an organisation called Children of Artemis who also run their own on line forums www.witchcraft.org Both sites link to each other. blackhounds x |
