Thanks for posting the pic.
I joined in the 1970's.I remember feeling very 'special' when my membership card and badge arrived.

I can't remember seeing another badge colour other than the blue one I have. There may be other variants out there. Maybe the best person to ask is Zoe (George@kirrin) as she has a great stock of F5 memorabilia. I bet she'll know or know of someone who does!

Here's a bog standard cast info sheet that was sent out to members of the F5 club in 1978, courtesy of Darrell Waters Ltd. bad photo, but I hope you can make it out.

Here's the other half to the info sheet. Again, it's a bad photo. It was took in artificial light & doesn't show up well. I'll re-take it in sunlight ASAP.

Your welcome, Maria Esther & Eddie

Yes, Toddy did indeed play the family pet in the RC, but he was only in it briefly at the start of the film!

Upon joining, I had a letter from Enid. I have no idea if it was personally handwritten/typed or a mass-produced letter sent out to all new members. It was a long time ago! (c 1959)

Can you remember what happened to the letter? It would be brilliant if you still had it tucked away in a box in the attic! Wishful thinking, but one can only hope.

Thanks for photographing the items, Number 6. I don't think I'd seen notepaper with the Darrell Waters Ltd. address before - Lee House, London Wall. I've just looked up Lee House and it was a large, drab tower block which was demolished in 1986 - to be replaced by more tower blocks!
