Many thanks to Melvyn and Pete for your recent donations brothers! (I will be doing your user name and password asap Pete)

I apologise if I sound overbearing, but I love Catweazle and I adored Geoffrey and I held a deep affection for Kip, Robin and all of our patrons and I am positive most of our members feel the same way. I am just asking our membership to show it. This anniversary is THE way of saying thank you, it's a way of being able to show just how good this program was and just how much it is still held in such high regard. It is a way to honour these people in a country wide way. It is an opportunity to finally get our message across. I repeat, I am not saying everyone has to give vast amounts, I am not saying that you HAVE to give regardless of your financial situation. I am trying to make you aware of what this could mean to your club, I am trying to make you remember and celebrate our lovely wonderful cast that we will endeavour to do them proud on this great anniversary. It is like NO other fan club would produce. I want those people that are getting excited about the prospect of this happening to get involved, give us ideas, join our committee even if it's via the phone rather than travelling. I am going up to Liverpool in September to have a meeting with potential sponsors - which is why I mentioned the club making an effort that I can SHOW them whilst asking for their help and backing.
We don't charge a yearly membership fee, we always subsidise our members each year to make the weekends go well. For example for every person that went to Brickendon in June this year the club paid £6 per person to cover the cost of having the place open up for us, to pay for the staff there etc. It's not just the food (which was wonderful I thought)that we have to pay for then there is vat to add, BUT my brothers and sisters, we do not have a bottomless pit, in fact with my merchandise supplier retiring from working, we aren't even getting any income from this at the moment, whilst I look for a replacement. Even so we are concentrating on the anniversary, rather than funding the club at the moment, I will see to that part if I have to and as I have done in the past. Even if we reach £2000 by September it will be a great effort, so please try to do what you can. Even if it's something like saving twenty pence pieces for a month and just donate that, or don't go to the pub one day and donate what you would have spent just that night to the cause. That's all it takes to show your support for the big bash and it gives me and the team the incentive to give it our all, so that it will be a great day, a day of fun, friendship, remembrance and a day of spreading our love and appreciation for Catweazle and its stars. - Thanks again to all those who have already donated, for it is YOU who are keeping the magic alive. I will be reporting back after the meeting of course to let people know the situation.
I am sorry I have not updated the news age yet - I am so involved with dealing with Geoffrey's estate that it's been difficult for me. I will do it very soon.
