Phil Nanson

Phil develops CAD software for a living, working on a programme which is used in the design of anything from kettles to the Mars rovers. He’s an avid gamer, briefly trained as an armourer and owns a lot of books on swords. His favourite author is Avram Davidson and he has been a judge for the Arthur C. Clarke Award. Phil has been going to conventions since he discovered fandom in 1982, courtesy of CUSFS. He has run one Eastercon Green Room and worked in most of the others over the last thirty years. He has served on the committee of four Eastercons, the first Octocon, four Unicons, and five BRS games cons, most often as treasurer. Three of the Unicons were also games cons and the combination should probably only be counted at 1.25 conventions per event. He’ll be applying these mathematical skills in his role of treasurer.
