and many satirical works from early short story "All the Last Wars at Once"
(1971) to a recent series of stories about Maureen Birnbaum, Barbarian

novels include "A is for Anything" and "Humpty Dumpty: An Oval." (Source:

MSFC 50th ANNIVERSARY MEETING
Paul Ewins, President of the Melbourne Science Fiction Club, wrote to several
mail lists:
On Friday May 10 2002 the Melbourne Science Fiction Club will be
celebrating its 50th anniversary. All past and present members, and in fact
anybody who may be interested, is welcome to attend. Please pass this message
on to anyone who you think may wish to attend.
Location: St. David's Uniting Church Hall, 74 Melville Rd, Brunswick West.
Melway ref. 29 C5
Time: From about 8:15 onwards. Cost: Free
Bring: Old fannish photos, con books, fanzines etc.
BTW: A couple of members have queried the date. The 40th anniversary was
celebrated in October 1992, with Ian Gunn stating in the subsequent issue of
Ethel that this was the right date to the best of anyone's knowledge. Since
that time KRin (Karen Pender-Gunn) has done some more research on the history
of the MSFC and places the date of the inaugural meeting of the Melbourne
Science Fiction Group at May 9, 1952. If anyone has any recollections one way
or another I would be pleased to hear from them.
