The library catalogue is here: catalogue Please don't email Roseanna asking "Does CUSFS have X" unless you both (a) haven't found X in the catalogue, and (b) have reason to believe CUSFS recently bought X.

We have a library in the New Museums site. Our Glorious Lady Librarian Roseanna plans to let people go in there to get vacation reading at some point; more details nearer the time.

Veizla 2010

The Veizla shall be on Thursday the 10th of June. The invasion of Norway (looking suspiciously like Grantchester) in longboats (looking suspiciously like punts) will be on Friday the 11th of June. The Reeve's invitation and more details are here. If you would like to come, you should have emailed the Reeve.

Term plans

The CUSFS/Jómsborg Veizla

(annual dinner) will be held on Thursday 10 June.

CUSFS (and later Jómsborg the New) has been bringing literary discussion of Science Fiction and Fantasy to students and the general public in Cambridge since 1963. Every week during University Full Term we have a discussion on Sunday evenings, be it on an author, a theme, or the latest bizarre theory explaining why there's nothing good on TV anymore. We tend to alternate between Science Fiction discussions and Fantasy discussions (which, until 1996, were the exclusive preserve of Jómsborg).

News

CUSFS now has an official IRC channel, #cusfs on the irc.srcf.ucam.org server. If you're unfamiliar with IRC and the link doesn't work, try the assassins IRC instructions, replacing "#assassins" with "#cusfs".

The library sale is still open, to both members and non-members. Details are on the sale page; get your requests in soon!

This website is updated intermittently. We will try to get it right every time, but if you notice something broken, please mail soc-cusfs at lists dot cam dot ac dot uk. Likewise, please get in touch if you have any suggestions for changes or additions to the site.

Valvepunk, where the transistor was never invented, is being developed by CUSFS as a shared world.

The original artist for the CUSFS Cuddly Alien you see above has been found! Jeremy Henty, take a bow!
