Greetings all,

Getting to this before I forget - I'm not going to be around a lot
for the next couple of weeks to to moving house. I will try to stop
in and add comments where I can to organise our movie night but the
brain won't be operational at all times :-).

Current prospects for our Christmas movie times as shown on the polls
at the moment favour Friday evening and Sunday evening.
Since there are also a few votes for Sunday daytime I'd lean towards
a Sunday evening.
So unless this changes drastically in the next week or so we're
probably looking at Sundays the 16th or 23rd - any strong preferences
either way?

As far as movies go Carmel suggested Beowulf and 1480, at our recent
meeting we also had Golden Compass suggested.
Any other suggestions before I set up a poll? Do we need a poll?

~Ben

We discussed having a get-together roughly 2 weeks before Christmas
where we go to see a current movie at a cinema, then perhaps go
somewhere for coffee, etc. afterwards.

I've created a poll for working out days/times for this, we just need
to work out movies as well.
So please suggest some movies you'd like to see, within the next week
I'd like to put up another poll for the movie so we can decide what

G'day all,

Just mucking around, I have developed two possible contenders for the
club's logo.  Posted under the Photo's section.

Thanks

  I get into Biomechanoids I find them very easy and enjoyable to do,
if you want to go that way. Somebody else suggested a bit of nostalgia
something like a 50's motif.

We discussed having a get-together roughly 2 weeks before Christmas
where we go to see a current movie at a cinema, then perhaps go
somewhere for coffee, etc. afterwards.

I've created a poll for working out days/times for this, we just need
to work out movies as well.
So please suggest some movies you'd like to see, within the next week
I'd like to put up another poll for the movie so we can decide what
we'll be going to see.

~Ben

Subject: [GeelongSFClub] Bolkien Advertising

Greetings people,

Mark and I have been plastering parts of Geelong with advertising for Martin Pearson's show, but we'd like your help too, where you can. Martin is coming to Geelong the day he gets back from the Phillipines, and before that he will have been to Brisbane and Darwin, so we want to make this worth his coming.

Having said that, I do know Martin and he is a truly wonderful and enjoyable man just to know. No matter how many people turn up I'd guaruntee a good time.

 

So I'm attaching the .doc files of the flyers and posters we're using, it your workplace / school / other club or organisation, etc. will be willing to display them then please do. Otherwise we've done the majority of Geelong city and Pakington street, if you are willing to approach bookshops, cafes, etc. then that would be muchly appreciated!

 

See you all there, and please remember to contact me privately if you'd like to pay early for a $5 discount :-)

 

~Ben

Just a thought for another name. Which is totally left field from what
have been coming up with. Hopefully not in use yet. "The Off Worlders"
Thoughts? comments?

Thank you, David!

I'll follow it up.

Hi there
Re names:
Geelong Sci-on, or Beta Sci-on sound good
- sorry, not into "geeks incorporated"
Science Fiction in Geelong would be SFIG - you could get an
interesting logo out of that!!

Re searching for books: I want a copy of 'The Planet of Flowers" by
Warren Norwood, published about 1984, Bantam Books (paperback) It's
the fourth in the series "The Windhover Tapes" - I've got the other
three - can anyone suggest where I could enquire for a secondhand copy?

Gabrielle

Hello Gabrielle,

In regards to your book search I can recommend two places. The first is Barwon
Booksellers which is located in Geelong. The second being
http://www.suzs-space.com if
the book you are after isn't on that site you can register your interest and
they will try and
get a hold of a copy for you. Not to mention the amount of stock they don't have
listed on
their website.

Cheers
~Mark

I like the idea of Beta, but Victoria sounds a bit Victorian, no pun intended. I also liked Sci-On ( my apologies to who suggested it I can't remember who) But I thought it needed another name with it, maybe something like Beta Sci-On.........something or rather.
I really like the idea of a 50's 60's logo. I love that sort of Sci-Fi advanced but somehow backwards, like "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow." love that movie.

I'm with Lucy I don't want to be labeled either and I'm not totally comfortable with Geek either, sorry guys.
I think it would be a good idea to discuss this at a meeting one night too Ben. I'm all for modern technology but it's only a tool, I much prefer social interaction. Is there a time limit on choosing a name? To me a name has to be right, mean something not just a name pulled out of a hat. I personally would like a name that has meaning, sounds cool, and just rolls off the tongue.

Good point Lucy,

On that note - do people feel comfortable with the word Geek?

I know I'm proud of it, but not everyone is.

Ben I found this site last week and it is really good. It's a really
good forum site and quick and easy to post and reply to messages. It's
not a chat site but different sheds for different threads. I set one
up for my Airbrushing discussions.

Please, no more refs to Trek, or Star Wars --- I'm not a big fan
of either and don't want to be labelled as a Trekker or a Jedi
