From the serious (Settlers of Catan) to the silly (Cards Against Humanity), there's something for everyone. We'll be in one of the smaller meeting rooms on the ground floor of the international building (INT031; if you're not sure where that is, we'll be happy to meet in the Arts building foyer and walk down beforehand.

Our first cinema trip of the year will take us to the new 'Blade Runner 2049'; the highly anticipated follow-up to Ridley Scott's cult classic. We're attempting to see the 4:30pm showing at Vue Cinema, Staines. If you don't know where it is, or how to get there, we will be meeting at Egham train station at 4pm.

The four committee members of The Institute For Impure Science (IFIS) shall each choose a film; they could be anything Science Fiction-Fantasy related, and you will have the chance to vote for the film you think is best. Which film will reign superior? The choice is yours...

If you enjoy having a friendly chat/debate about all things Science Fiction and Fantasy, then join us on our Pub Crawl! Starting at Crosslands, we'll be travelling to as many pubs as we can around the Egham/Englefield Green area. How many will we visit? Will we be able to do a 'Golden Mile'?Please note that alcohol is completely optional.

A long standing tradition of the society holds that on the social that happens to fall on the event of Ladies day at Ascot (3rd Thursday in June), that members should arm themselves with peanuts and prepare for coming of the Hat.

This happens every year on the 25th of May as a tribute to the late Douglas Adams. As a reference to the awesome Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, fans carry with them a towel in his honour. Do you know where your towel is?

Free Comic Book day is a yearly event where various comic stores around the world, give away specifically chosen comics, in a bid to promote comics to a wider audience. There are a number of stores taking part in this within the London area, although this trip will only focus on the ones located in the centre of town.

Star Wars day is every year on the 4th of May. It is derived from a pun on the Jedi phrase "May the force be with you", namely "May the Fourth be with you".

Royal Holloway is closed over the Easter period.

This day is celebrated as the Fall of Sauron. As of 2003 that day is known as Tolkien Reading Day, an event to encourage the use of Tolkien's works in education and library reading groups.
