Ghosts > The British Fantasy Society
The British Fantasy Society (BFS) began in 1971 as the British Weird Fantasy Society, an offshoot of the British Science Fiction Association. The BFS is dedicated to promoting the best in the fantasy, science fiction and horror genres.
In 2000, the BFS won the 'Special Award: Non-Professional' at the World Fantasy Awards. The BFS also has its own awards, the annual British Fantasy Awards, created in 1971 at the suggestion of its president, author Ramsey Campbell. It held its first 'Fantasycon' in 1975.
The current British Fantasy Society has no direct connection with the earlier science fiction group using the same name from 1942 to 1946.
