(Did you mean a different Meteor?)


Meteor was a club in Malmoe, Sweden, headed by Dénis Lindbohm. It started as a social club, but under Lindbohm's influence, by 1952, mainly devoted itself to sf. This meant losing most earlier members, but on the other hand, being the club's undisputed head, Lindbohm initiated such activities as producing amateur movies (resulting in at least one finished 30-minute film, the first such in Swedish fandom; for many years, showing it at Swedish sf conventions was a ritualistic event).

When the first overt Swedish sf magazine, Häpna! started in 1954, new members were attracted and the club quickly issued the first number of its fanzine, Clloev, the second known fanzine issue to be published in Sweden.

This is a club page. Please extend it by adding information about when and where the club met, when and by whom it was founded, how long it was active, notable accomplishments, well-known members, clubzines, any conventions it ran, external links to the club's website, other club pages, etc.

When there's a floreat (Fl.), this indicates the time or times for which we have found evidence that the club existed. This is probably not going to represent the club's full lifetime, so please update it if you can!
