The Fanderson Committee is looking for a club member to join them and manage the production of our club magazine – FAB Express. Could it be you?

We originally advertised this position in early-summer and interviewed the shortlisted candidates. Unfortunately, a change in personal circumstances means that the successful candidate cannot now take up the position. Therefore, for fairness to all involved (including new members) we are re-advertising now in the hope of finding that great new addition to the Fanderson team.

We currently mail a magazine three times a year, containing the latest news, correspondence and other features for club members. The magazine format changed to FAB Express in 2023 as part of our overhaul of the membership package. Two years on, with the magazine settled in but also with a wealth of suggestions from our recent membership survey, we need someone new to take the magazine on and bring their own ideas in order to make their mark.

You don’t need to be a graphic designer, as the successful applicant will work with our designer to produce the final magazine. What you do need is the ability to gather information and/or encourage input from club members in order to provide the designer with text files and (where possible) suitable accompanying photos/illustrations. You do need a good command of the written English language as composition, spelling and grammar are obviously important.

What do you get in return? Like all committee positions this role is voluntary, so unpaid but you will become part of the successful team and bring your experience and advice to everything the club does (including beyond this role’s responsibilities). You’ll gain experience of working in a team, and share our pride in running one of the longest established TV/film fan clubs in the world.

If you think you might fit the bill please write to us by Monday 20^thOctober 2025 at fanderson.org.uk@outlook.com with details of your experience and aspirations. Be confident in explaining why you’re the right person for the job, and all the great things you’ll bring to the role. We aim to shortlist candidates for online interview in early November, with a view to starting work on FAB Express 112 in early 2026.

The postman’s on his way with your summer mailing!

FAB Express 110 was posted yesterday to all Fanderson members, and has already dropping through letterboxes! As well as all the Anderson news and your views, this issue takes a FlashBack to TV Century 21, the groundbreaking comic for all 1960s fans of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson’s productions (and other TV favourites).

Being the summer mailing, it’s also that time when we again invite you all to renew your club membership. Mailed with FAB Express 110 is a short letter that explains how to renew your membership – ensure you do it by 1st October and you can save money with your Loyalty Discount (explained in the letter).

Please note that, from this mailing onwards, we’re aligning ourselves with Royal Mail’s world postal zones to ensure you’re paying the right postage. Your renewal letter details which zone you are in, or you can check for yourself here. We’ll be gradually updating our Fanderson Sales product pages over the coming months, so that they reflect this structure by the time of the winter mailing.

Once you’ve got your Loyalty Discount code*, you can renew your membership from this page. As long as we’ve got your renewal by 1st October you’ll be included in the winter mailing, comprising FAB Express 111 and FAB Annual 2026. Editor Mike Jones is working hard to ensure the new annual is even better than the 2023, 2024 and 2025 issues!

With this mailing we’ve completed the 2024/5 membership year, so FAB Annual 2025, FAB Express 107, 108 and 109 are now available in the shop, if anyone has missed an issue or wants an extra copy.

Whilst we’re at it, don’t forget that we’re running monthly offers on various issues of the old club magazine – FAB. Packed full of articles (much like those in FAB Annual nowadays), you can get a whopping 50% off by buying five or more issues in each offer, together. We’ve only got very small stock of some issues, and others have already gone out-of-stock since we’ve been running these monthly offers. Don’t miss out, click here for this month’s offer.
