Goodies Fan Club -- Mailing List/Member Roster/Name our Fanclub!
August 10, 1995
________________________________________________________________

Dear fellow Goodies Fan Club Members,

A warm welcome to the newest members of The Goodies Fan Club. There's been
an influx of people who have joined in the past few days--we're now at 28
members!

This email is to keep you abreast of plans and changes at the web site 
homepage.

MAILING LIST--YES OR NO?
------------------------
I'm considering starting a mailing list for discussion of The Goodies. The
list would be open to anyone who has an email account (not just Fan Club
members).

I myself would feel more comfortable talking about The Goodies among 
people *I know* share my love and enthusiasm for this show.

Furthermore, a mailing list could conceiveably facilitate tape trades. 
Several people in the Fan Club have expressed to me their regret at not 
being able to locate one show or other.

Of course, the mailing list would help us easily exchange information so
that we're can all be to speed on what Bill, Tim, and Graeme are doing,
etc.

Please email me and let me know if you think that a Goodies mailing list 
would be a Good Thing [TM] or a Bad Thing [TM]. Would you join it? 

And don't hesitate to email if you know of where the mailing list could be
housed! I don't mind overseeing the mailing list, but I need either a
university or some other location where listserv can run from 24 hours a
day. Thanks! ;)

MEMBER ROSTER--UPDATE
---------------------
There will be a change in the organization of the Member Roster, currently 
at:

http://www.cathouse.org/BritishComedy/Goodies/FanClub/MemberRoster/

I'm going to make a short list and a longer list. The short list will look
much the same as what's up on the web now: just a simple list of names
with email addresses.

The longer list will hopefully have pictures of members (or any zany
picture they wish to include from their homepages, etc.), and the
following information. (I'll need you to fill this out--on a voluntary
basis only, of course, but I would think this would be fun for most
Goodies fans. ;)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME:
HOMEPAGE:
US, UK, AUSTRALIA, etc.?:
PARA: (short paragraph where you can tell us about yourself)
FAVORITE GOODIES EPISODES: (list as many as you want)
FAVORITE GOODIES QUOTES: (this'll also help me expand the quotes file at
the Goodies Fan Club Homepage)
OTHER INTEREST: (Certainly we all have interests outside the Goodies...
 well, maybe not... :))
----------------------------------------------------------------------

You don't have to adhere to this format; be creative! :))

Just send your mini-novels to: goodies@badger.idiscover.co.uk

FINAL WORDS
-----------
It has been brought to my attention that some of the members don't have web
access. If you'd like ascii versions of what's up at the Fan Club
Homepage, just drop me a line! I'll gladly ship it all off to you.

Thanks for your time and remember to email me if you have any club ideas.
Just begin your message as Tim would: "Shoot me down in flames, if you
like, but I have an idea..." ("Moon Creatures").

In the meantime, I'll be housesitting the Jolly Rock lighthouse,
