Sydney Futurian Meetings for 2008 – Feb

The first group calling itself the Sydney Futurians met in 1939 (think of that!), this current meeting started up in the early 1990s. Membership of the Sydney Futurian is conferred by participation. We are an informal group that meets to talk about SF, Sci-Fi, Fantasy and SF-like Science. There is no membership or meeting charge etc, because, for good Science Fiction to be appreciated, the imagination must be Free!
