Holly & Phoenix

May Meetup – Date Suggestions?

It was mentioned at the last meetup that the first Sunday of the month, 1:00pm, was not really the best time for a lot of people. So we are now opening up the floor for suggestions! (except the floor is actually a comment form)

What recurring day/time would suit you best? First Sunday? Last Sunday? Saturdays?

Since new Harry Potter sources are few and far between, we’re also widening the discussion at Holly & Phoenix to include other fantasy movies, books, tv series etc. Yes, that includes Twilight. Even WE have a love/hate relationship with it.

Another great idea, and potential source for lively discussion, is the inclusion of a bookclub or recommended reading list. There are lots of great fantasy books out there, and quite a good deal of Australian fantasy authors waiting to be re-discovered.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on both issues.

EDIT/UPDATE

Please note that we will not be having a meetup this weekend. We will wait for feedback before scheduling the next one.

April Meetup

Hi all, just a reminder the the April meetup will be on this SUNDAY, APRIL 19th at 1:00pm.

Same bat time, same bat place.

April 2009 Meetup – Last Change!

April 12  is Easter Sunday *slaps self*

You know, I think we’ve done this every year…

Anyway, the meetup will be SUNDAY, APRIL 19th at 1:00pm.

Just on another note, we will be expanding Holly & Phoenix to become a general Fantasy (and occasional SciFi) meetup group this time around. Our reasons are that.. well, Harry Potter is essentially done with at the moment. There are a couple of more movies, but not too much by the way of new information. By expanding the group to include other fantasy discussion, we hope to be able to keep the conversation flowing with the new information, movies and books that are available!

We aim to keep Holly & Phoenix a casual meetup group, where people can come along and relax and share their love for fantasy and the occasional Guinness Pie and/or Chocolate Brownie.

If you have any suggestions on how we can improve the group or the website, please feel free to let us know!
