T-SHIRT & STAR TREK INFORMATION

Deep Space Dykes, founded 1997, approximately 30 members

Deep Space Dykes was formed in 1997 when six lesbian Star Trek fans answered an advertisement. We had a group T-shirt made with the wording taken from the Star Trek character, the Borg: 'We assimilate, resistance is futile'. As we are constantly gaining new members, this still seems apt today.

MODEL OF ENFIELD TOWN

Enfield Preservation Society, founded 1936, 2200 members

This model was made for Enfield Preservation Society to illustrate alternative proposals to the Borough's destructive ring road scheme. Prepared in 1964, as part of the Save Enfield Campaign, these proposals must be seen in the context of the expansionist 1960s. Such large-scale road works so damaging to the environment would not be considered by the Society today.
