Welcome to Genesis Sci-fi Club

The Basingstoke science fiction club

This web site is in the process of being revamped completely. Yes, we know it looks dated. This will be remedied soon-ish (very heavy on the -ish; the webmaster is realllly lazy). Until then, you can consider what you see here as a sort of archive. Go ahead and click the links on the side bar, but keep in mind that much of the non-fictional information is woefully out of date. As the site gets updated, a subset of that information will be copied over.

Upcoming Meetings

The next meetings are listed below. For now, they're all planned to be held online using the Zoom platform. Connection information will be posted here, and on social media (hopefully) no later than an hour before the meeting starts.

The next scheduled meetings are as follows:

In-Person Gaming Night: Monday, 15^th August, 2022 at 19:30 BST
- Meeting location: Dice Tower Cafe & Gaming, 24 London St, Basingstoke, RG21 7NY
- Games to bring: Anything you think they might not already have that you'd like to play
- Gaming duration: They close at 10pm and will likely kick us out then, if we haven't already left of our own accord.
Book Club Meeting: Saturday, 13^th August, 2022 at 15:00 BST (07:00 PDT / 10:00 EDT)
- This month, we'll have an in-person meeting at Kim Howard's house. We will attempt to have the virtual meeting, as well. Information on Kim's address will be available in the Facebook meeting invitation (when it's created).

In the meantime, we all hope everybody is doing as well as they can be, and that they're all coping with whatever forms of isolation they may be forced to endure. When things have calmed down again, and various venues have re-opened, regular in-person meetings will resume. Until then, everybody stay safe!
