A ticket from Stratacon One Wargamer's Convention 1980 at Kerrisdale Community Centre. Imagine paying only $2.50 CND to attend a 3-Day convention today. Stratacon is what the Trumpeters called their conventions from 1980 to around 1986. Then the name was changed to Salute, and then a few years later, it was renamed Trumpeter Salute. The Trumpeter Society graphics department has also improved since 1980. |
