MonSFFA’s next meeting is scheduled to take place this Saturday, May 10, from 1:00PM to 5:00PM!

We will gather at our downtown meeting locale, Le Nouvel Hotel, 1740 René-Lévesque Ouest (corner St-Mathieu).

Out-of-towners, as always, may join our ZOOM-chat and take part in the meeting from the comfort of home!

On the Agenda:

The Cartoons of Tom Gauld: SF, Fantasy, Literature, and Commentary. And Books!

We examine the art and humour of prolific cartoonist Tom Gauld, whose work covers a wide range: science, science fiction, fantasy, role-playing games, classic literature, politics, and more. Gauld happily combines different genres in a single cartoon. Vampire tropes… and modern politics; classic literature…and science fiction; fantasy…and the reality of television. Not only does Gauld love books, he also loves booklovers, and publishes in major newspapers and magazines, including The Guardian, The New Scientist, The New York Times, and The New Yorker.

Section 31 (Game)

How well do you know your sci-fi spaceships, aircraft, and vehicles? As a Section 31 agent, you will be required to covertly gather information on various of these as potential targets, and this afternoon, we will test your ability to correctly identify a few!

and more…

Meeting Theme: We will be discussing, during the course of this meeting, our annual club field trip, upcoming in June! We’ll welcome your suggestions as to which museum, exhibition, or interesting locale to visit this year.

We’re looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible at our downtown meeting hall for this May 2025 meeting! Bring a friend! See you all there on Saturday, May 10, 1:00PM-5:00PM!

Please Note: While we strive to keep on schedule, we do, sometimes, fall behind a little, or find ourselves having to reshuffle the order of items on the agenda for one reason or another, or reschedule planned presentations/discussions. Therefore, please understand that all programming is subject to change!
