New Irish Science Fiction Association

Hi there!

We hope this newsletter finds you well.

You are probably aware that NISFA closed its doors over a year ago, and that there hasn't been an active science fiction society in Dublin since. This month Sorcha Power would like to announce her plans to form a new science fiction society.

If you're interested in hearing more, please come along on Tuesday, 9th Feb, to the White Horse Inn close to Tara Street Dart Station.

Although there is currently no official science fiction association holding monthly meetings in Dublin, some of us would like to get together for old times sake.

On Tuesday 8th December, the Dublin Science Fiction Party - a gathering of Sci-Fi fans from the greater Dublin area for a little Xmas cheer - will take place in The White Horse Inn (now called McCormacks). Whether you were part of ISFA/SFI/Sci-Fi Club/Unlikely Society/NISFA, or you just like a bit of sci-fi, everyone is welcome.

NISFA may be dead, but some of the ex-members thought they fancied a night out, so we're going to see the new Harry Potter movie. Come along if you're free. We're meeting at Cineworld, Parnell Street at 6pm.

Or if you'd like to get a bite to eat beforehand, meet at Eddie Rockets next door at 4:30pm.

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.

The NISFA team

When: Tuesday 9th December 2008, 8pm
Where: The White Horse Inn, Burgh Quay, Dublin 2

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.
