Monochrome marvels in October’s FAB Monthly offer!

Monochrome marvels in October’s FAB Monthly offer!

Thanks to our monthly offers, more members are discovering the club’s FAB magazine and telling us “It’s an amazing magazine” or “I never knew how much there is in each issue”. Although a large number of members have been with Fanderson for years, and so may have received FAB as part of their membership package, there’s a significant number who have joined since.

To encourage that latter group to take a punt on ordering some copies, our monthly series of discounts are focussed on a specific series. For October, it’s the turn of magazines featuring monochrome favourites Supercar and/or Fireball XL5. Since we started these monthly offers in January, quite a few issues have sold out. Get your order in now as stock on many issues is quite low – don’t miss out!

Buy any five or more issues of FAB magazine that contain Supercar and/or Fireball XL5 content (conveniently, you can see them all by clicking on Supercar or Fireball XL5) in one transaction, apply the coupon code FAB-OCT-MARVELS at checkout, and you’ll get a whopping 50% off those issues.

Thunderbirds 60 Years at Slough Museum

Third great FREE Thunderbirds event opens 4th October

Following hot on the heels of their successful Thunderbirds Memories Weekend in 2024 and The Art Of Thunderbirds earlier this year, Slough Museum is staging its third free event for Thunderbirds fans.

Masterminded by Fanderson member Sam Denham, who has again worked with the staff and volunteers at the museum in the heart of the Slough Trading Estate, where Thunderbirds was produced. The Thunderbirds 60 Years exhibition will celebrate the series by looking at the production and design, models and puppets, and will take a peek behind the scenes. It opens on 4th/5th October (10:00-16:00 both days), then every Friday 11:00-1600 and Saturday 10:00-14:00 until 20th December 2025.

Full details are on the event flyer, here.

Slough Museum Trust was founded in 1982 by a group of local people who wanted to create a museum to share knowledge about local and general history, topography and archaeology of Slough and surrounding districts. Their mission today is to build a sense of pride in Slough. They develop imaginative and inclusive projects and displays and encourage people to share their stories and knowledge of Slough as a place of pioneers and innovators. It is the only organisation in Slough that has a remit to collect, conserve and communicate the town’s heritage. They explore and celebrate Slough’s past, present and future.
