UFO fandom, circa 1972

Hi all,

I've been exchanging emails with a woman in the UK who
participated in UFO fandom way back in 1972!

Here is a photo she sent me which I believe was taken on
on Ed Bishop's birthday in 1972:

Correction -- that photo was taken in 1976. Apparently
there was someone named Win Kemp who organized UFO
fan get-togethers near London in the early 1970's
(anyone know about these?), and this photo was
taken at a Birthday party for Ed Bishop in June 1976.
I've got some more photos of the event now, and they
had a SHADO-style birthday cake for Ed, and Vladek
Sheybal was in attendance.

Here are the raw photos that were sent to me, straight
from the photo album... :-)

If you look at the bottom-right photo in album1, you
can see the person who sent me the photos (Debbie,
with short hair in a white shirt) talking to Ed,
and Ed is with his wife Hilary and daughter
Jessica.

If you look at the photo of Ed and Vladek, the
woman in between the two is Win Kemp, who organized
this event. She is now 85, and still alive.

Sorry, Ed's wife is on the bottom-left photo, sitting
at the table (presumably the one with the necklace).
The bottom-right photo shows a fan named Doreen.
