G. BAND OFFICIAL FAN CLUB,
PO BOX 315,                                Newsletter for
LONDON, E.18. 2RL                          August, September & October '76
 
 
 

Hello to you all,
 
I hope you are all enjoying the hot weather, although it would be really nice, I think, if we had a good downpour of rain.

The G Band have finished the tour they did feeling very tired, mostly due to the hot weather, but they send their good wishes and thanks to all of you who were able to get to see them at a show.  They said they had a great time on the whole, but John and Harvey were very disappointed that their guitars were stolen at Hull.  Not the work of over-eager Fans, I trust looking for a memento!  Anyway, they are all looking forward to a long rest when they come back from Paris where they are right now, working on the next single and L.P.
 

There are no tour dates at the moment or information on titles for the single and L.P. but if you are interested, just send in a stamped self-addressed envelope marked "INFO" and I will send what I have when I have it!

For overseas Fans, there are plans afoot for a tour of Belgium, Germany and Denmark sometime in October and if you want the information when I have it, send a self-addressed envelope, marked "INFO" and a I.R.C. to cover postage.

As you will now all know, John Springate was married on March 27th last to Lyn Barnes (not me as many of you thought) and they have both asked me to thank you for all the letters, presents and messages of goodwill that came in for them.  I have at last found out who was their best man, after a few false starts, as I was away for the weekend they were married and did not see who was there.  Well, for those who want to know, it was John's brother, who apparently came over from Canada.  I do apologize to those of you who were sent incorrect information and I have had strong words with those who gave it to me in the first place.  O.K.?  It was a white wedding and they got married in church and I hope that is the end of that.  (Whew!)
 
 
 

GOOD NEWS
 

Mike Mingard's wife Terrie is expecting their first baby in August (another G Band Fan).
 
 

I hope to have a new Pen-Pal list ready for the next Newsletter due out early in  November.  Some of you had already sent in details, which, when I had an office re-shuffle, seem to have gone astray - so all those interested, please send in your details, on a POSTCARD only, with name, age, address and interests, and I will send you a list with the November Newsletter (I hope).
 

Also, I want some good practical ideas for the next competition and so I thought it a good idea to get you to do the brain-work for me.  So if you are good at ideas, write that down, also on a POSTCARD, with your name, age and address and we will pick out the best (with a small prize) and the best idea will be used for the Christmas Competition.
 

Don't forget to renew your membership when due, if you have not yet done so, for the second year.  If you know of a member who did not get a Newsletter for August/October, ask them to check that their membership has not run out.
 

All the best - have a great summer.
 
 
 

                                                    Lyn Stevens
                                                    Fan Club Secretary.

P.S.    Watch out for the next newsletter
as I hope to have news of a "GLITTER" Annual, regarding publication date
and price, etc.
