About

From 3433724 Doctor Who in Australia:

"The Doctor Who Club of Victoria based in Melbourne has been continuously operating for more than 25 years. In 1978, some fans had been planning a fanzine or newsletter (later appearing as "Supervoc") but this was delayed until about 1979, after Tom Baker's visit early that year, when local fandom (as in many other states), flared into more vigorous life. It organised a "convention" (really a day-time event) on 24 November 1979. The club has an active social program ranging from screenings to club outings and has hosted a number of conventions with guests including Sophie Aldred and Sylvester McCoy. The Club publishes a regular bi-monthly magazine "Sonic Screwdriver".
