The book's coming along well, but there's still time for anyone who wants to be involved to join in the fun.

Yes please help with this project it's about YOU and your memories and we all want to hear them!!
We have over 1500 members, true I doubt they will all be looking on here very sadly, but those who have please do send your little bit - it only means you recalling your thoughts about Catweazle, or Geoffrey, Kip etc etc and a simple email to Alan. You don't have to be an Enid Blyton or Shakespeare so don't worry about your grammar, spelling or anything like that just jot it down and send it off.
And remember Alan is doing this for the club and it's future not for himself. I for one am looking forward to reading what fans remember and think.
Thanks Alan xx

A lovely bit of news regarding the Catweazle book - Richard Carpenter's daughter, Harriet Whitehouse, has kindly written us a foreword! It's thrilling to have a member of the Carpenter family involved. |

And not only will Harriet be involved, but also Venetia Davies, wife of our dear Robin, who has written a touching afterword for the book. We're now very close to publication - a matter of weeks - and I am delighted to say that the book will comprise 40 essays, all of them heartfelt and highly readable. Watch out for TIS MAGIC! OUR MEMORIES OF CATWEAZLE - the 50th Anniversary hurrah for Catweazle! www.hiddentigerbooks.co.uk |

That's brilliant news Alan....the contributions by Harriet and Venetia will make it even more special......can't wait to get my hands on a copy.
As you might recall I've been involved with a book project of my own for well over two decades, and which will finally see the light of day later this year.....so I fully understand and appreciate the time and effort that you've put into collating and producing this collection of Weazlers memories !
Well done !!

The book is sounding marvellous Alan, you are doing a fabulous job. Isn't a pity that more of our own members didn't join in. Those who did - very well done and thank you for your time and effort. Not too many people get their names published!!! lol However 40 participants is a great number to have recorded so very well done to you and all those like Pertie who I know contributed other stuff too. Can't wait to get a copy xx |

The take-up from fan club members was good but not enough to fill a book, so I sent out invites on a wider basis and as a result I think the book has ended up (through luck rather than clever planning on my part) with a wider scope as a consequence. And who knows, they might well join the club... |

Yes, I appreciate that you had to go further afield and I am glad you did because you did manage to get quite a few people in the end which is terrific. Well you can't say that they don't know the club exists now, so fingers crossed. x |
