Knight Rider Magazine & Fan Club

Post by KittKarr1110 » Sun Jan 16, 2005 4:00 pm

Hi, recently I won an auction on ebay for 3 Fan Club newsletters from what was called "The Official British Knight Rider Fan Club." These newsletters were No. 15 & 16 from 1988 and No. 23 from 1990. They were several pages long and I found them to be very interesting. It contained articles are about actors from KN ask well as offers to purchase merchandise or places & people to write to. I never new such a fan club existed.

Does anyone on this MB know about this club and these newsletters? If so, is there somewhere I could get copies of more of the issues?

Also, in each of the newsletters there was a page listing a dozen or so issues of "Knight Rider Magazine" which was for sale from the fan club. These magazines were 60 pages and contained 2 or 3 knight rider fanfic stories. I am most interested in these magazines and in getting a copy of some of them.

Does anyone know about these magazines and are these stories still available somewhere?

Any help I could get on this would be appreciated. Either respond back on this board or email me at MRlovesDC@aol.com

Thank you.
Melody

Nope, I never heard about it.
But I'm very interested about it.
If you don't make a difference, you are not the Knight Rider.

The newsletters were about 16 or so pages long. They were what I call a homemade job (typed on a typewriter and xeroxed). Articles from magazines and newspapers were copied. It was a quarterly thing. The ones that I purchase on ebay spanned the months of Jan-June and they listed birthdays of members for each month. I counted a total of 71 people listed for the six month period. So it must of had some following. Two of the issues were from 1988 and the third was from 1990.

I was a huge KR fan, living in the UK. Never heard of it either.

Well, it did exist, I have copies of these newsletters. The address on one of them is Bebington, Wirral, Merseyside? The address to order the fanfic magazine was Radipole Lane, Wymouth, Dorset, England. I think the club existed before there was these on-line boards and websites, it was in the 80s so internet was not around. Just thought there might be someone out there that was a part of the club so I could get some more information about it.
