Not quite old enough to have been listening to late night Radio 4 in 1978 I became a Hitchhiker's fan in the early 1980s by reading the books, watching the television series and listening to cassettes of the radio series passed around the school playground in the days before there were official releases. I didn't join ZZ9 until after Douglas died, but was quite soon writing for the club magazine, and went on to be on the ZZ9 committee and eventually President a few years ago, mainly so I could be an ex-President. Unfortunately didn't go to LL1 or LL2, so I will be working to make LL3 as awesome as possible so that one day it will be regarded as the “good old days”.
