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.

This is a very important event of the year for the society. The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is where we elect the new committee for the coming year. It's vitally important everyone turns up as it has to be quorate (see constitution) to go ahead and if it doesn't the society could be shut down.

If it wasn't obvious from the name, this is an opera. In the near future dystopia, an epidemic of organ failures has resulted in people having to get replacements using a organ-financing program, which has deadly consequences if they fail to make their repayments. In the midst of this, one isolated young girl struggles to find a cure for her own illness and the dark secrets her family carries.

Inception is about a man who is skilled at hacking into peoples' dreams and stealing information. But his past exploits have resulted in him being on the run and unable to see his children. He's offered a chance of redemption and to be able to see them again if he performs one last job - one considered impossible by many - not to steal information, but to implant an idea. To do so he and his team have to delve within many layers of dreams, but as they execute their perfect plan they're unaware that they're being stalked by a dangerous enemy they couldn't have prepared for.

Picocon is a convention run by our counterpart society at Imperial College. It's a fun packed day with guest speakers, games, sillyness and a quiz.

This film is about strange stone rectangles and space stuff. It makes little sense and features lots and lots of shots of spacecraft moving through space to the Blue Danube. There may be a plot. You'd have to read the book to understand it.

Rather than inflict their own (bad?) tastes in movies at you, this week we're letting you, the members, decide what is being shown. But unlike previous such events we're not letting you decide on the night. Instead you need to fill in this poll. It works in two stages - first you nominate a film and then a couple of weeks before the event, you need to vote on the options available.
