Featured Article: Melbourne Science Fiction Club
This week’s Featured Article is about the Melbourne Science Fiction Club!
Originally called the Melbourne Science Fiction Group, this club was founded on 9 May 1952. It currently claims status as the second oldest science fiction club in the world (after the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society) and the oldest in the southern hemisphere.
The club has been a locus for science fiction activities and support networks, for friendships and creativity, and for the production of fan films, newszines, fanzines and conventions. As of 2024, the MSFC runs meetings on the third Friday night of each month, and produces a newszine, Ethel the Aardvark.
