What a fantastic event.

On 6th May 2006 Terra Nova Three was held at the Mercure Grosvenor Hotel at 125 North Terrace Adelaide.
First up was a fashion show of Science Fiction attire through the years, done by the Australian Costumers Guild South Australia. The costumes were varied with shows represented across the board. Star Trek, Star Wars, Babylon 5, 5th Element (a brave female I can tell you), a Dr Who - Tom Baker - a good likeness, complete with lolly bag) Boba Fett, a female Klingon and the 501^st Legion’s -Stormtroopers plus many more. We send our thanks to Lynn Cook who did a terrific job of compiling this fantastic show for us.

The Costume Competition was next, with entrants from the audience.
Hartley A won the Male category, the Female category was won by Hailey, the Youth prize was won by Sean and Jecinta won the Child section, with the two other little ones also receiving a prize as their efforts were too hard to decide between. The child Starfleet entrant was most intrigued by the mini Star Wars troopers. Absolutely Adorable! See for yourself with the accompanying photos on this site.

At this point our first guest, John Billingsley and his wife Bonita Friedericy, graced us with their presence. They stole the show and John was very entertaining with Bonnie as his side-kick. They could easily do a comedy routine any time! John told us of his disappointment of the last show in the fourth season of Star Trek Enterprise without giving too much away for those that haven't seen the episode yet. (Adelaide TV had not aired the fourth season as yet when this convention was held) An actor for many years John has played many roles including serial killers like in Cold Case that recently screened on one of our TV networks, Channel Nine, in late April 2006. John has quite a talent there, with a chilling side. Impressive! John Billingsley presented the prizes to all the winners for the Costume Competition.

In the lunch break 64 attendees took the opportunity with Event Photography for a professional photo with an Actor. These photos were printed on the spot so you could have them autographed later on in the day, which was a great service that we all appreciated.

We watched a promo for a new UK based Science Fiction satire named 'Starhyke', which stars Claudia Christian, which brought Claudia to the stage. As an author of children books, a novel and more to come as well as her acting career, this lady is leading a busy life. Claudia has also returned to study in Literature while residing in London.

Up next was the Star Trek Enterprise episode 2.23 'Regenerations' which features Bonnie as a Borg. All the while John & Bonnie provided us with a running commentary which proved to be positively hilarious.

Our business supporters Kollectable Kaos, Movie Manics, Adelaide Comics and The Computer Bug supplied the great Costume Competition prizes. First Contact Conventions and Gateworld Colletables from Melbourne donated the other prizes for the Child category. Also as a club member S.A. Photography’s Des Farkas was present to take photos around the room. All of the support received by The United Federation of Planets Fan Club Inc from these businesses is very much appreciated so please support them..

The United Federation of Planets Fan Club Inc Raffle was drawn by Claudia Christian with Paul W winning First Prize and Paula A receiving Second. Congratulations to them both.

The Auction saw all three actors on stage for an impromptu sale. Some bargains went under the hammer with some bonus autographs from the actors going to the lucky recipients.

Some thirty people attended the Cocktail Party on the Saturday evening with another twenty people attending the Mystery Tour on Sunday with Claudia. The weather was rather dismal on Saturday night of the 6^th May 2006 so doubts were held for the success of the day planned. However twenty people braved the cold weather and made the day enjoyable for all. See photos on this site.
