Probe
Since the late 1960s/early 1970s, Probe has been our A5 club fanzine, published three to four times a year depending upon contributions. The bulk of Probe comprises short stories from the finalists and winners in our annual Nova Short Story Competition. A complete set of all issues of Probe is available in our library.
Probe 203 from the first quarter of 2025 is our latest edition posted to members.
All contributions are welcome! Send email to the editor with your contribution.
We love receiving:
letters of comment (LOCs) from around the world
reviews of books, movies and events
international con reports and happenings
news articles and interesting links from around the world
quizzes and crossword puzzles
poetry
art work (high contrast grayscale, preferably)
anything of science fiction, fantasy or general scientific interest
anything else that may tickle your fancy
Our printing is done by JNT Printing.
Probe usually contains some science fiction/fantasy short stories. The source of these is usually our Nova short story competition. The winners are always published in Probe. Even stories that did not win can be chosen by the Editor.

Members receive hardcopies of Probe as soon as they are printed. We also generate PDF versions of Probe, because some members prefer to receive them instead of hardcopies.
Email the librarian if you would like a PDF copy of a specific edition of Probe.
Email the secretary if you would like to buy a back issue of Probe.
We offer free downloads of Probe covers in high resolution:
