Title: 80's style fan clubs
Post by: gronk guy on 09 June, 2006, 02:40:50 AM
Who misses the old fan clubs with badges,prizes newsletters and exclusive this and that. Have websites killed these off?
Has there ever been a 2000ad fan club in the 80's?
If not then why and why not now.

That, and most of the fans being over 30...

I can't miss something I never got into, but I'd like another Dredd badge

     Yeah, I've still got my Adam and the Ants and devo badges.
            It'd be quite cool having a retro fan club, with a newsletter, a poster, tshirt, and the ubiquitous badge (and a ring to identify other club members...)
Hmmmm....

Don't forget some form of secret sign.

Has anyone still got their S/D cards from one of the issues? There was a free gift of two id cards, but I can't remember what the other one was... I know i've still got them somewhere, I can get them laminated now!

I remember those cards, weren't there four over two weeks or summat?

Was one of them an MC1 'Mental' card(Probably not or else I'd still be carrying it in my wallet with pride...)
