New Irish Science Fiction Association

Hi there,

As we announced recently, the last ever meeting of NISFA takes place on Tuesday March 10th, so if you were ever part of ISFA, SFI, Sci-Fi Club, the Unlikely Society or NISFA please join us on the Ghost Tour Bus to give them a good seeing off.

We looked into booking a whole bus to ourselves, but it wasn't going to be possible for the number of confirmed attendees, so the simplest thing is for everyone to book their own tickets. You can book online on the Dublin Bus website:

Hi there,

NISFA is Dead! The club will have it's last gathering on Tuesday March 10th, where we will load the bodies of the ISFA, SFI, Sci-Fi Club, the Unlikely Society and NISFA into a coffin and drag them around Dublin on the Ghost Tour Bus to give them a good seeing off.

If you've ever been a part of any of the above associations, please come along and give them a good seeing off.

Hi there,

Just a quick reminder that the January meeting takes place tomorrow, Tuesday 13 January at 8pm. There's no formal topic, but some of our northern friends will be joining us for the evening.

We've had some more personell changes in the club, and we hope to finally get our act together and come up with new meeting topics over the next few months. If you have any suggestions for speakers or topics, please drop us an email.

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

When: Tuesday 9th December 2008, 8pm

Yes, Tuesday is NISFA's Christmas party, so please come along and enjoy yourself.

We plan to bring plenty of seasonal delicies. Please feel free to bring along some of your favourite Chrismas foods to add to the party.

Wipe away the credit crunch blues by exchanging gifts - please wrap and bring two small presents, one nice one, one naff one, to exchange on the night.

We look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday.

The NISFA team.

Hello. My name is Pádraig Ó Méalóid, and I have undertaken to take over the running of NISFA, the New Irish Science Fiction Association, from my sister, Caitríona Hamman.

 

Hi there,

NISFA is still recovering from a sad week which saw our good friend Frank Darcy lose his fight with cancer.

This month's NISFA meeting will continue as usual, and will be a celebration of Frank's life. Please come along and share your memories or just have a drink to his memory.

In addition, we will have a short discussion about the future of the association, with some changes planned to bring in new faces and revamp the meetings.

We look forward to seeing many of you on Tuesday.

The NISFA team.

Dear Friends,

Frank Darcy, a well known and much loved science fiction fan, lost his battle with cancer and passed away at 6:30 on Wednesday morning. He is a former organiser of the Dublin sci-fi meetings, and has been running P-Con for the last few years.

Bad news: Christine Darcy just phoned to say that Frank died this morning at around 6:30 in Our Lady's Hospice in Harold's Cross. She said that it was very peaceful and he just slipped away.
