I think I've read J and C saw each other there, but didn't actually formally 'meet' there. Chris must have been easy to notice, being like the only female performer there LOL, and I remember Chris saying Mayall played in the 'big tent'-- Mayall was a big name so she probably watched them and hence, saw John.
Their first real meeting--when I assume they were introduced to each other and actually talked a bit-- was 3 mos later, in Nov 1967 at London's Saville Theater. I believe John was still engaged to some other girl at that time, though, so it was just a 'friend' thing for awhile.
