We were fortunate enough to have Martin Hills' video suite available as the venue for our viewing of the pilot episode of Star Trek - The Next Generation, entitled "Encounter at Farpoint". This high quality science fiction series, which will begin showing on BBC television later this year, has just started its third season in the States, so members have at least another 77 episodes to look forward to.

We were amazed and extremely grateful to Mrs Hills for the generous range of refreshments, which resembled a buffet meal rather than a light snack. No doubt we will be returning again next season for another social.
