My first ever union was at Gatwich Airport with "Qatt" and "Nyneave" in 1998.
But the first union i really liked was my second union "Official Union, Las Vegas" in june 1999

Hi there! 
Well... My first union was a Dutch Star Trek fanclub type thing in the south of Holland, early 1999. The other attendants were HVG, Al and G'ruk, if I'm not mistaking. Was quite a lot of fun, really.
toodles,

I have never been at a Outpost union. Why doesnt someone at Outpost plan a union in Sweden? Nina Janeway excluded. She has already done it. Lets plan a big union. If you can plan unions in other countries then by all means plan one in Sweden too.

Hi there!
Well... *S* Why don't you go ahead and organize one yourself? It's not that difficult, really. Just pick a place and a date and time and wait for others to show up. It would be advisable to tell others about it though, and to make a list of who'll be attending. That'll prevent you from waiting indefinately...
toodles,
Henri

Hmmm, that would take a lot of planning
Dont think anyone will come if a plan a union

Dont be shy. But i cant do it on my own, if anyone
from Sweden wants to help i would appreciate it

Planning of a union
Organising a union is not as easy as it may seem. After organising ten unions so far in London, I still have problems and headaches. So here is a few pointers for wanna-be union organisers.
1. Decide on a date (most of my unions are on a Saturday. But I do have extras on Friday nights and Sundays). You may want to advertise a few dates on the notice board to find a suitable date that the biggest amount can attend.
2. Make a list activities and sites to visit (The more that cost nothing the better)
3. Always make sure you have enough to do, I.E. give your attendees enough choice for the day (Give them enough to fill a day and a half for each day you plan for (not everyone has the same taste of what to do)
4. Make sure that points one and two have plenty of actives and places that under 18’s can visit (We do have some).
5. Make a list of cheap accommodation in the area, and any special deals for hotel/bed & breakfast, and Travel.
6. Create a HTML page with all the above stuff, to let potential attendees know what could be happening, and with useful information (make sure it’s on one page and easy to follow)
7. Bring along on the day a list of the places that you going to visit, and in what order (this normally changes as the day goes on), because if you don’t then you’ll most likely spend 15 minutes or more after each activity trying to get the group to decide on what next to do (this does get annoying at times)
8. Try to get someone else from the area to help out, as looking after 33 people (the biggest union I have run so far) does wear you out.
9. Try to get everyone’s mobile number who is attending (I’ve lost a few people, but luckily found them later on), and regularly chose a rendezvous point and time, just in case you do loose some one, or they want to visit something that no one else does.
At the moment that is all I can remember, but I can guarantee I have forgotten something.
All I can say now after handing out my wisdom of union organising, is that you’re always learning and that you won’t be able to fully relax till the last person is on their way home.
Enjoy
