If something is organised, booking the entire venue is the best way to do it
from GameSoc's experience. You get the entire arena to yourselves for a
couple of games (any more and you'll die of exhaustion). And you won't end
up getting your butt kicked by some snotty nosed 8 year old or the guys who
spend every waking hour playing laserquest.
for everything - security, bar staff, DJs etc... and then gets the ticket
sales. Which sounds great in theory, but I'm not aware of any society run
event making a profit. Ever.
RockSoc's rock nights in TW20s might have been the exception, but they're on
a much smaller scale.
Most TV shows are either 30 or 60 minutes long so are ideal for that slot.
Rather than just showing one series, we could just showcase various TV
series in the first term. Broaden peoples' experiences of what
sci-fi/fantasy TV there is. And then in the second (and third?) term
concentrate on maybe one or two that everyone liked the look of?
Based on what happened this past year, some people will show up regardless
of what we're showing, so as long as people know what times we start, we'll
get some bums on seats. We'd just have to make sure we start moderately on
time for the TV slot so as to not cut into the film slot too much.
Firstly- please note that the below are only proposals so feel free to
add, delete, etc. any that you like or dislike or I haven't thought of
for next term. Best as always! Me xx
I propose
1) A trip to laserquest (provided that there is one in the near
vicinity of Staines or London) or similar in the second Saturday of
term (mainly because it is thought that it may be too cold for a huge
waterfight, and laserquest is probably the next best thing.
The nearest one is in Guildford...or it was a couple of years ago whenadd, delete, etc. any that you like or dislike or I haven't thought of
for next term. Best as always! Me xx

2) A disco of some description at the students union, with some sort of
sci-fi related fancy dress theme- I'm thinking around halloween- may be
a come as your fave sci-fi or fantasy (is afficionado the right word?)
character. Basically a night where we can all have a laugh and act
crazy (wait a moment I do the second of those things all the time- hmmm
suspicious...)...
I believe the way this normally works, is that the society foots the billsci-fi related fancy dress theme- I'm thinking around halloween- may be

3) IFIS christmas dinner- Chris T, I hope you'll be willing to help me
out planning this (huge endearing smile and much fluttering of
eyelashes...)
Sure. It's really not as complicated as it sounds though :)out planning this (huge endearing smile and much fluttering of
eyelashes...)
4) vis a vis films- possibly to include a Best of thing for X-files,
Firefly etc. because showing the same series every week will 1 take too
long and 2 not be to everyone's taste, and we'll want to show other
things as well of course.
What other things would fit in to the hour slot before the film though? Firefly etc. because showing the same series every week will 1 take too
long and 2 not be to everyone's taste, and we'll want to show other
