| 27 Apr | Sunday | 1st Week | Trinity | Discussion | Desert Planet TV Series. a.k.a. TV recommendations evening. Come recommend or be recommended SFF TV, and then to vote for the ones we would take with us if we were to get stranded on desert planet. In the future we might even watch a winner together! |
| 4 May | Sunday | 2nd Week | Trinity | Discussion | Award winning author and former OUSFG president, Frances Hardinge will be joining our discussion. |
| 11 May | Sunday | 3rd Week | Trinity | Discussion |
Collaborative storytelling discussion, Tentacular Vikings
takes a theme and runs with it as we all work together to write (or at least plan) a story.
Last year we started with a fortuitous cat and a prompt "The oceans rise to hide a gate" and
plotted a tale of exploration and discovery.
Previous stories have involved
a miners' strike on the surface of the sun,
Boom Sticks,
the St Giles' Fair's role in keeping freshers
from disappearing into parallel dimensions,
and finally an explanation for why we keep crashing on that dratted desert planet.
Oh yes, and tentacular Vikings. |
