Green joined the Birmingham Science Fiction Group in February 1977 and has held several posts with that organisation, including editor of its monthly newsletter. He also became a member of the British Science Fiction Association, eventually taking over the clubs column ("Life on Mars") for its newsletter Matrix. Later, he collaborated with artist Kevin Clarke on a short-lived comic strip for Matrix, "The Tavern at the End of Time".

He was chair of the British science fiction conventions Novacon 14 (1984) and Novacon 37 (2007), and ran the "Fan Lounge" at Intervention, the 1997 Eastercon. Other roles include: Fantasy Amateur Press Association vice-president, 2005–07, and president-elect in 2009 (as the post was dissolved in the same ballot, Green never took office, but was briefly listed in official publications as "president emeritus"); administrator of the Nova Awards for British fanzines, presented annually at Novacon, 2002–09 (he reassumed the role in late 2010); current administrator of the Delta Film Award, presented annually at Manchester's Festival of Fantastic Films.

In November 2008, Green announced himself as a candidate for the TransAtlantic Fan Fund. He won and subsequently attended the 2009 world sf convention, Anticipation, before travelling across Canada and the United States. He is currently working on a series of articles about his trip and acted as European TAFF administrator for two years, a requirement of the post.

He has been a regular guest speaker at the Exeter University convention Microcon, 2008–10 and 2012-13.

Joel Lane's 2009 short story collection The Terrible Changes is dedicated to Green and to the memory of his late wife, Ann.

Famous quotes containing the words related and/or activities:

    Gambling is closely related to theft, and lewdness to murder.
    Chinese proverb.

    Both at-home and working mothers can overmeet their mothering responsibilities. In order to justify their jobs, working mothers can overnurture, overconnect with, and overschedule their children into activities and classes. Similarly, some at-home mothers,... can make at- home mothering into a bigger deal than it is, over stimulating, overeducating, and overwhelming their children with purposeful attention.
    Jean Marzollo (20th century)
