The Roy Dotrice Fan Association was a fan club based in the UK for fans of Beauty and the Beast (TV) and Roy Dotrice, the actor who portrayed Father.

It was created in December 1992.
Dotrice was personally very involved with this fan club.
The Roy Dotrice Fan Association is a major success, run by Roy and Gwen Lord. There is a very large welcome pack on joining, and three large and informative newsletters each year. Roy sends all members a personal Birthday card each year, and get-well cards when you are unwell. [1]
In June 1994, it reached 100 members. [2]

I had a card from Roy. If you join the British Roy Dotrice Fan Club, they send your birthday card to Roy and he writes on them and they send them to you. Isn't that neat. I really loved it. [3]
