For those of you who want to come to Comic Con with us, we'll be taking the train and tube up! Some of us have already bought priority entry tickets, so make sure you can get hold of your tickets by going to the official website. Keep an eye on our Facebook page as we'll post updates as to where we are and what we're doing!

Hooray! It's one of our more traditional events: the Panel Games Night! Here, we'll be playing a few games inspired by such popular stand-up panel shows such as Just a Minute, I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, Whose Line is it Anyway? and Room 101 (as well as having the occasional rant about movies in general). Think you've got what it takes speak your mind and advance your comedic creativity? Then come on down to INT031 for a night full of laughter and nerdy humour!

Not only does Science Fiction and Fantasy play a big part in the realm of cinema, it also spreads across our television universe! We're planning to start off our night with an episode of Rick and Morty (not necessarily the pilot); then we'll vote for which other TV shows we'd like to watch next! (shortlist coming soon). They could be anything from superhero to scary, there's something for everyone at our Pilots night!

Are you a fan of Studio Ghibli? Come along to our dedicated Studio Ghibli Movie Night. We're collaborating with Anime and Manga Society and Japan Society to bring you a viewing of a film from one of the most famous animation studios. We have a selection which you will vote for on the night, including: Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Laputa: Castle in the Sky, My Neighbour Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle and Ponyo (this list could be updated if anyone wants to suggest any of the other films, please message us if you do).

In the mood for some light entertainment? Come along to our Board Games night! We have plenty of games to pass the time, as well as having a chat about almost anything! 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.

Come along and watch 'Stardust' - the fairy tale that has no rules! Director Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class, Kingsman) takes us to magical lands filled with witches, goats and cross-dressing pirates! Featuring an all-star cast including Charlie Cox (Daredevil), Claire Danes, Rickey Gervais, Rupert Everett with Michelle Pfeiffer (Batman Returns) and Robert De Niro!

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".
