A PHILADELPHIA/SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY BLAKE'S 7 FAN CLUB

ARE YOU SURROUNDED ON ALL SIDES BY FEDERATION TROOPERS. WITH ONLY A CURLING IRON TO PROTECT YOURSELF? DO YOU HOLD THE BELIEF THAT THE PHRASE "ALL TEETH & CURLS" COULD ALSO APPLY TO A CERTAIN DASHING (AND SOMEWHAT ENTHUSIASTIC) REVOLUTIONARY? AND FINALLY. DO YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT ANY OF THESE SILLY QUESTIONS. OR WOULD YOU RATHER BE FISHING FOR PRECIOUS MINERALS ON VILAWORLD?

Once you finish pondering the above, why not take a moment to fill out the other side of this form, and join a brand spanking new local fan club that is dedicated to the exploration, discussion and ongoing enjoyment of one of the finest SF serials ever to come out of Britain, Terry Nation's Blake's 7!

WE SET OUT TO BE A CLUB STRONGLY FOUNDED ON WHAT THE MEMBERS WANT, and after our first few highly successful meetings, that is exactly what we have! Our meetings, as well as our newsletter, The Liberator's Log, serve as a forum (or member ideas, suggestions and creativity We Need Your Input, and we look forward to hearing from you, with an idea, a newsletter submission, a meeting activity suggestion, or whatever. If there's anything you'd like to present at a meeting - if you'd like to read some poetry, perform a filk or skit, whatever, please contact us and let us know! Call 609-939-4991 & ask for Mike.

YOU ARE THE CYGNUS ALPHANS, AND WITH YOUR HELP. WE CAN MAKE THIS THE MOST WELCOMING. ENJOYABLE CLUB IN THE AREA!
