如果你想進(jìn)一步了解任何問題，請(qǐng)隨時(shí)給我們發(fā)送更多的電子郵件，我們很興奮能收到你的來(lái)信！祝你，以及你管理的社團(tuán)好運(yùn)！

Dear Alliance of Sci Fi Societies of China,

We are very glad to hear from you and hear of the increasing numbers of societies like our own all over China. We too have struggled with membership over the recent years and are constrained by our university guild (who manage us). Although this year we have had better membership and attendance than ever! We are very happy to share how we do things with you and we hope that it helps you spread sci fi even further in your communities!

1.?The University of Exeter Science Fiction and Fantasy Society

2.?The society has existed in various forms since the 60s. Most recently, it rebranded from Sci fi and fantasy and horror to just sci fi and fantasy. The earliest official documents we can find are from the 1970s.

3.?Kieron Lintott

4.?Once per year

5.?102 members at the point of writing

6.?Recruitment in our society starts in September each year, we recruited around 65 during the first week of our first semester. Throughout the first semester we increased our numbers passively to 102. We estimate we will gain?4-10?more members at the start of the second semester.

7.?Rather than departments, we instead just have positions in a committee which manages society affairs. We have a president, vice-president, treasurer (Handles money), librarian (manages our book collection), mascot (dresses up at events and helps manage crowds), 2 social secretaries (manages and organises social events) and 2 general secretaries (manage general affairs, social media and take notes in meetings).

8.?We meet up once a week (or sometimes twice). We run quizzes, challenges (like from tv shows), lightsaber fights, cinema trips, tabletop games (like battletech, warhammer and magic the gathering), boardgame playing nights, movie nights, art creating nights, sci fi and fantasy themed debates, trips to the pub (bars) to drink and socialise, fancy dress socials, bowling/group activities and roleplaying games (like dungeons and dragons). We also offer books to borrow.

9.?We currently have not the time or resources to run special events. A few years ago, however, we used to run a convention called Microcon, which covered all things sci fi and fantasy and had special guests.

10.?We have not received any awards. We have had difficulties with managing numbers, acquiring spaces to host certain events, getting risk assessments and finances approved by the guild, timing issues due to bureaucracy and waiting on things going through and general management of finances and paying for things from our society bank account.

11.?If you have any further questions, feel free to send us more emails, we were very excited to hear from you! Good luck with your convention and running your own societies!

Hardy Blake, treasurer of the society
