The British Beatles Fan Club Is Ending
« on: January 10, 2023, 10:03:52 AM »

If you are a member of this fan club I’m sorry to say it’s ending in January here’s what they had to say.

It has been a Long and Winding Road, but the time has come to Let it Be.

The British Beatles Fan Club will be issuing its last magazine in January/February 2023.

It has been a difficult decision, but one we need to take.

We are sorry to be finishing but it is not The End.

Our Facebook page will continue but the magazine has to now be put to bed. The PO Box will close on 28th February 2023, but our email will remain open. After 28th February any queries should be send to treasurer@britishbeatlesfanclub.co.uk

For just the four of us it has become more difficult for a number of reasons. Ask Me Why and we would say that Brexit has caused a number of problems for us, resulting in lost memberships we would normally have kept. The last couple of issues have been later than planned, plus we are now that bit older and it takes Ernie longer to walk to the Post Office to send the magazine! (Now he’s 64). (Lovely Rita can only wait so long before giving him a ticket.).

It has been a lot of fun and our journey from humble beginnings in 2000 has taken us on a Magical Mystery Tour, but the time has come to say Goodnight.

We would like to thank everyone over these 23 years who has been involved in the magazine, our shop supporters, our printers, our contributors, our advertisers, and, of course, our members. We have all Come Together to make the club what it is.

Finally, thanks to John, Paul, George and Ringo, without whom……………………………

With our issue 83 due late January/early February any subscribers who are due a refund of unused membership will be able to apply for a refund either by Pay Pal, bank transfer, or merchandise.

For those who want to continue having a magazine, we can recommend Things from the Beatles Museum in Germany, which is printed in German and English. Go to www.beatlesmuseum.net for more information.

Thanks everyone. We send you all Peace and Love, From Us to You.

Remember, All You Need is Love.

The BBFC Team.

Craig, Michele, Sue and Ernie.

I’m sad to hear that British Beatles Fan Club is ending this month. I have been a member for 22 years. I joined on the 29th November 2001 on the day we lost George Harrison, It was known then as London Beatles Fan Club the magazine is always a good read it will be missed.

Really weird reading that as tonight I watched the documentary Good Ol Freda about the original secretary for 10 years Freda Kelly.
It's a great watch if anyone hasn't seen it.

I second that. Saw it on a Delta flight several years ago, and it was great.  icon_good
