SB410.net is the website for Starbase 410 a
Science fiction and Fantasy club based in Cambridge, England.
Starbase 410 was founded in 1999 and is still going strong today. What
started out as a purely Star Trek club has gone from strength to strength
and has evolved into so much more. We now incorporate all Science Fiction
and quite a bit of Fantasy within our mandate.
Please feel free to browse
our website remembering that all content has been submitted by members of
our club, if you wish to know more about Starbase 410 or would like to
submit to our website please contact one of the e-mail addresses below and
either myself (Emma - webmaster) or our secretary (Jaz - enquiries) will get

Emma
There I was minding my own business watching The Unit when an ad for a
new series ‘Chuck’ came on. Still paying very little attention until in
the back of the picture I saw
HIM.

Lisa
For those of you who watch Futurama, you will be hugely amused to know that
we had a visitor to our Healthcare department called Dr Zoidburg. For more

Ann
This month sees the implementation of
some new ideas and return of some old ones and we hope this will make the
club the dynamic one it was before. For more

Next Month's Meeting |
 This
month's theme is Alien Invasions by Humans. This is meant to cover the
sci-fi where we take to the stars and fight on alien turf rather than them
coming here, like in Starship Troopers and Space Above and Beyond. Loosely
included would also be shows like
Stargate, Farscape and Babylon 5.
If you fancy joining us either just come along directions
here or let someone know you are coming by
e-mailing enquiries@sb410.net |

Last Month's Meeting |
 We had a really good meeting. We were few on numbers due to holiday, work
and illness but we got into the spirit of things. The Ultimate Ruler Contest
was launched and any guilt Emma felt about going all out for the Petrelli
campaign when Lisa was ill and unable to counter soon passed and she read
out her statement to Bonnie Tyler singing Holding Out For A Hero. The Quiz
was a battle of the Sexes and once again the women proved superior to the
men particularly when the Narnia questions came up, Tori and Steve had
watched it a couple of weeks ago and whilst Steve couldn't remember a lot
Tori had no such issues stating "I is a book". The scores were 14 to the
boy s and 24 to the girls. Since Steve and Kevin were playing Steve's game
when it came to the Lord Of The Rings Trivial Pursuit the remaining 2 men
Dave and Rob were put as team leaders and each joined by 2 women, Rob by Rae
and Christine and Dave by Emma and Tori. Once again Emma and Tori's
knowledge proved superior and that team won a hard fought battle. Both Ann
and Rob made an effort and arrived dressed as a witch and Wizard fit for any
Harry Potter or Discworld book. |

 New President
Following the sad death of our club President, Barry
Morse, in February Starbase 410 are pleased to announce that after a
long and close association with us Derek Wheatland has agreed to take up
the mantle and become President of Starbase 410.
As some of you may know Derek is a Jean Luc Picard
/ Patrick Stewart look-alike. For those who have met him you will know
how uncanny that resemblance is. Derek has attended many of our social
events over the past few years and we help to raise funds for his
adopted charity The Children's Acorn Trust. Derek is very active within
the Sci-Fi fan community and we hope that he will continue as our
president for many years to come. His trusty Riker (sidekick) Andre
Smith will be joining him as Vice-President.

Ultimate Ruler Campaign
Launching at our April meeting will be the Ultimate Ruler Contest. The
Election will be contested by two candidates, Harold Saxon aka The
Master and Nathan Petrelli aka Sylar.
Online voting is up and running along with all the
campaign speeches to date.
Cocktail Party
We are awaiting confirmation from our guest on the date but this years
cocktail party will take the form of an Inaugural Ball for the winner of
the Ultimate Ruler Contest. We are also running a cocktail making
competition and intend to serve the cocktails at the party.
As usual we will be raising money for The Children's Acorn Trust. Ticket
prices have yet to be decided but if you would like to register your
interest we will let you know ASAP. The more people attending the
cheaper it will be so watch this space. To register your interest in
tickets please e-mail
tickets@sb410.net
Cocktail Competition
We want you to create an original sci-fi based cocktail for this years
cocktail party. There will be a winner from each category, Alcoholic and
Non-Alcoholic, and all palatable cocktails will be served at the
cocktail party. The prize in each category is a £5 voucher (yet to be
decided).
Rules
1. All Ingredients must be readily
available.
2. It must be, as far as you are able to know, an original recipe.
3. The cocktail must be named in a recognisable sci-fi vein.
4. The cocktail must be presented in a 500ml bottle with label.
5. The recipe must be presented on an a4 sheet of paper as if it was the
page from a recipe book.
6. Entries will be judged primarily on taste but presentation will
factor in the event of a tie.
7. The committee’s decision is final.
8. Judging will take place in July at a secure location.
