Our next meeting will be on Sunday the 22nd 3pm at Lee and Christine's place, directions in the file section of the yahoo mailing list site, or email him on the list and he'll send it to you - we'll be watching the new Doctor Who special: Water of Mars. We'll also be watching the Doctor in The Sarah Jane Adventures: The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith, and possibly the new K9 pilot show, Regeneration. Bring some party snacks and settle in for a good time!

Our next steering meeting is December 3rd, Thursday, at 7pm. Currently we are planning to meet at Tommy's, at North Star and Lane Ave, but keep an eye out for changes. We'll plan our next few meetings and when to have our next social meeting scheduled to avoid holiday conflicts. (We're thinking a party!) If you are interested in hosting the party or have a suggestion please post to the mailing list or show up at the steering meeting with your ideas.

Lee and Christine have invited us to their place on Saturday the 28th at 1pm (Thanksgiving weekend) to start on Marcon Track programming. He's offered an alternate date of Sunday the 29th at 1pm. It's understood that it's a difficult weekend for a lot of people, so please notify him on the mailing list if you can attend.

Our last monthly get-together was October 24th at Carrie's place - The Sarah Jane Adventures have started back up and we watched the new eps as well as a lot of different sci-fi and even Big Bang comedy. It was a lot of fun, so thanks for having us over and giving us access to your TIVO collection!

September 19th Saturday we met at John's house for a chance to watch the new "Greatest Moments of Doctor Who" specials that aired in August, and had a great time with some delicious snacks and pizza treats - thanks for having us over John!

Saturday. August 29th, We met at Andrew's house, for backyard grilling, lots of snacks and Torchwood: Children of Earth on the telly. Thanks Andrew and Danielle, for a great party - and Congratulations on your engagement!

We went to the midnight premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince! But due to the massive selling out of tickets, some went to Lennox, some went to Easton, and others went to a 7pm showing on Wednesday, July 15th. You can buy tickets at AMC Lennox theater, if you buy tickets ahead of time at the website, they are giving away an itune of a song from the theme track. Details at the site.

We had two events in June, first we attended Origins Game Fair, a gaming convention held at the Columbus Convention Center on High Street, on Saturday June 27th, as an all day event. Everyone who went had a great time!

Next on Sunday 28th we did a Morning Movie and Lunch at AMC Lennox theater - most movies run $5 before noon, and we saw Night At The Museum: Attack at the Smithsonian, 10:30am Lennox. What we learned is not to schedule a morning meet up the day after an all day convention! The few of us went did have fun, though.

We had a social meeting Saturday, May 16th, at Sara and Carlton's house in Grove City. Our last meeting before the con, we relaxed a bit, and previewed some of the vids chosen for the video room- and did a little go-cart racing in a neighbor’s new machine.

Before Marcon we had a few Meeting & Midnight Movie dates at Tai's Asian Bistro in the Fiesta Plaza on Lane Avenue, between Kenny Rd and North Star Rd. Per Andrew's suggestion, we used these meetings&movies this month to iron things out for our participation in the Marcon. We finished details to the video room schedule, and worked on other ideas on how to help out at Marcon, and set up some future social events for after the convention. After, at midnight, we met down at the AMC Lennox theater to see a new movie premier.

Saturday, May 9, 2009 we attended an IMAX screening of the new Star Trek movie at the Crosswoods Ultrascreen Cinema - Columbus, located at 200 Hutchinson Avenue, Columbus OH, 43235. 4pm showing. ($8 adults, $7.50 for Seniors/Children.)

Our May steering meeting was on May 7th, 2009 8pm at the Tommy's Pizza at Lane Avenue and North Star Lane but we have been talking about trying different areas. April 30th's steering meeting we ended with a midnight movie, we saw Xmen's latest movie - it was pretty good this time around! Looking forward to seeing some more good sci-fi this month!

Our April steering meeting was April 2nd, Thursday 7pm We actually got a good start on our video list for Marcon and ideas for music video contest for next year -Andrew masterminded the rest and it's now complete!

Our March our Social Meeting was held at Saturday the 28th at Andrew's house, thanks for having us there! We previewed a few choices for our video room at Marcon, the list to be worked on further at steering meeting. On Tuesday the 10th and Wednesday the 18th, we attended a game with the Blue Jackets - what has hockey got to do with Doctor Who? We're not sure - but the tickets were FREE and the games were fun!

Our January social meeting was held on Saturday January 17th, 2009 at John's house, (thanks again!). We had a good time watching new shows from the UK, as well as reviewing Matt Smith's performance with Billie Piper in the Sally Lockhart Mysteries. We did manage to conduct a little club business, collecting forms and fees for the staff membership of Marcon 44: British Invasion, for our part running the videos.

Our Winter field trip was to Who North America - on Saturday, January 3rd, 2009. See our field trip page for more info on fun to be had there!
