Welcome!
Welcome to Durham University Science Fiction and Fantasy Society! We meet weekly on Wednesday evenings to watch Science Fiction films and TV on a big screen, followed by a trip to the pub to discuss the films, other films, alternate timeline theories, logical and scientific inaccuracies or whatever takes our fancy.
We also have an extensive book library for use by members that might, one day, be catalogued!
And returning this year after a long hiatus is our society run fanzine, Metamorphoses! Available now in the sidebar!
For further details, or to be added to the mailing list for weekly updates, contact us on sf+f.society@dur.ac.uk
Check below for details of our new exec!
