The first Arundel Affair was held in 1997, and since then we have had eleven such events.
The name 'Arundel Affair' was coined by Norman Felton, Executive Producer of the U.N.C.L.E. series.
The conventions are small, extremely friendly get-togethers, where we spend a weekend immersing ourselves in our favourite TV programme.
We watch U.N.C.L.E. episodes, play the odd (U.N.C.L.E.-related) game, compete in the prize quiz and caption contest, listen to short talks given by other attendees, and watch other things the show's stars have done.
There is also plenty of time to chat and get to know everyone else - and as there are normally around 20-25 people, it is easy to chat to everyone there.
We usually have lots of memorabilia on display, a small sales table, lots of freebies and a raffle table.
The weekend has more of a 'houseparty' feel than the usual large conventions.
This is the place to meet other U.N.C.L.E. / RV / DMcC fans - and people come, on a regular basis, from all over England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Belgium and the USA.
Arundel was chosen as the venue for the conventions because of its ease of access.
By rail, it is on the main line from London, Victoria Station, and takes approximately one hour and twenty minutes.
London Gatwick Airport is less than an hour away by train. Again, this is a direct line.
The small town of Arundel is dominated by its castle and cathedral and is a popular tourist destination.
And, finally, David McCallum was a frequent visitor when his parents were residents of the town!

The next convention will be held over the weekend of the 7th & 8th March 2009 at the Comfort Inn, Arundel
