New SciFi Collectors' Website

2008 Look forward

Hi everyone and happy new year to you all.

2007 was a fantastic year for the Club with the highlight being our involvement in Celebration Europe.  If you haven't read the tales then look under past events. The Heroes & Villains Costume Gang has gone from strength to strength and membership of the Club continues to grow.  We will shortly be writing to nearly all past members with the invitation to rejoin the club for free with life membership until 2077.  All we will need is your up to date contact details.  Your free life membership will give you all the benefits of existing members who also have free membership until 2077.  We will be having a big party in 2077 when we have to renew the membership and I look forward to seeing you there.  An invitation will shortly be going out to George Lucas.  Anyone who wishes to join the Club for the first time only has to pay £5 and they too will receive membership until 2077.  Now is that a Billy Bargain or what !!

2006 was a good year, 2007 was even better, can we make 2008 the best ?  Many of the costume gang are improving their costumes, Mark S with the help of Richard, John P, Daniel and David P are constructing a speeder bike and we look forward to the first outing of the Olympic size (well nearly) marquee.  We have costumes waiting for someone to fill them so please speak to Richard or John Peruzzi if you would like to become a hero or villain.

The first planned event for 2008 will be the Club night on Friday 25th January 2008 at the usual venue of The Magdalen Gates First School on Bull Close Road, Norwich; subsequent Club nights will take place on the last Friday of every month.  Other events will include a charity event near Lowestoft (3rd May 2008), a charity event in Boston, Lincolnshire (29th June 2008), participation in the Norwich Lord Mayors Procession (5th July 2008), Beccles Western Country Fair, (13th July 2008), Oulton Broad Fete 17th August 2008), Cromer Carnival Week (19th, 20th and 21st August 2008), appearance at the Police Gala Day (31st August 2008) and our annual Charity Auction which will be held at the Number Ten Bowling Venue, Barnard Road, Norwich,  probably in October.  The date will be confirmed in due course.  Unfortunately due to technical problems the SciFi fair which was being planned will not now take place. There will be many other events so keep watching the Upcoming Events Page for details.

Free Membership Renewal

We are conscious that many of our former members who are still big Star Wars fans no longer come to our monthly meetings although we see them at some of our bigger events.  It could be that as they did not renew their membership, they may feel too embarrassed to come along.  To try to welcome them back we have decided to offer all former members who have previously paid the joining fee, free lifetime membership.  Richard will be writing to all former members with the invitation to rejoin for free.  All he needs is the return of the contact details on the form that is being sent out with the letter.

New members to the Club will have to pay the initial joining fee but they also will receive lifetime membership with no further fees to pay.

We hope to see many of you in the near future at our normal monthly meetings on the last Friday of the month (apart from December) at the Magdalen Gates First School, Bull Close Road, Norwich at around 7pm.
