Please note our April meeting at the Hub will be moved back two weeks to April 23, due to conflicts with other clubs’ meetings around the Easter holiday.

Following our look at William Hartnell’s era, and the recent popular screening of Evil of the Daleks, this meeting will take a look back at Patrick Troughton’s time on the show. We’ll also discuss Legend of the Sea Devils, as well as Christopher Eccleston’s appearance at Supanova Melbourne.

For those free on the 9th, you can find details of a TARDIS Trip to see The Batman and Morbius (with Matt Smith) on our Facebook events page.

We hope to see both familiar and new faces again soon!

Hello everyone! Its been a while since we’ve been updating. We promise we’ll try to get more on top of that! But with Melbourne going back to a sense of normality and gathering limits easing, we have booked in dates for our meetings for the year.

• Saturday 15th May – 25th Anniversary of Doctor Who the Movie
• Saturday 10th July – Annual General Meeting for 2019-2020 / 2020-2021
• Saturday 11th September – Games Day
• Saturday 20th November – Christmas and Anniversary Party

We hope to see both familiar and new faces again soon!

We also will be attending Supanova next month (hopefully it will still be going ahead) and are currently in discussions with Oz-Comic Con to be part of their event later this year.

Like many other events around the country and world, we have decided to cancel our upcoming meetings, not only in view of the restrictions put in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19 but to ensure the safety and health of our members and attendees. At this time is is not known how long the restrictions will last for, but our April meeting will be cancelled and most likely the May meeting. We will also not be running any TARDIS Trips until further notice.

Once we know it is safe to schedule our meetings and events again, we will post the information here as well as on our Social Media channels.

On behalf of the committee of the DWCV, we hope everyone is keeping safe and we look forward to seeing you all again when this state of emergency has passed. In the meantime, it’s a good time to re-watch some of your favourite episodes while people are restricted to mostly staying indoors.

Culture Shock events has announced that they will be holding a Doctor who convention later this year. Caitlin Blackwood who played Young Amelia Pond will be coming to Melbourne on November 18th in their “Who’s Who” event. For fans up in Sydney, the event will be held on the previous day – November 17th.

This event is a smaller, more intimate event – allowing fans to experience a Q&A session with Caitlin, as well as autograph and photo opportunities. General admission and VIP tickets will be available.

Come and visit the DWCV at Oz Comic-Con on June 9th and 10th at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. We are located at booth C5. We’ll also be running a panel on the Sunday at 5:00 pm looking at the upcoming series and new Doctor.
