Alun Harries is a fan originally from Wales but long time resident in London.
His first convention was Novacon 8 in 1978. Dave Langford, writing in Matrix #21 described:
... mumblings on the Meaning of Fandom, which were merrily stagnating when one Alun Harries shouted that this was all nonsense. 'How can I get into all this?' he cried disconsolately. 'You fans are such an in-group'. 'Have you tried asking?' said Greg Pickersgill after much head-scratching. 'I'm too shy and nervous to ask,' he bellowed. 'You should be asking me to join you instead of sitting here talking rubbish.'
He joined the Newport SF Group shortly afterwards. He was a founder member of Frank's APA.
He was one of the "Chicken Brothers" along with Nigel E. Richardson, Steve Higgins, Glen Warminger and Robert Stubbs; they earned the name at Novacon 14 when Linda Krawecke found the quintet delving gloomily into a big bucket of fried chicken.
