Words cannot express the sadness I felt on reading the front page announcement.....

Having been a member of every past fan club since the year dot.....

All I can say.... A massive thank you to everyone who has been involved in the running of the present fan club through the past years.....

This present fan club made sure that if it was happening in the Meat Loaf World that we knew about it......

I am totally lost for words..........

Leah · 29 Jun 2005, 21:36

So sorry to hear the news about the fanclub, i'm really dissapointed but at least we still have the site, so alls not lost.
A big Thankyou to everyone who has run and been involved with the fanclub over the years, you've brought us tremendous highs and brought many people together, who without you would have never experienced such 'togetherness' and a feeling of a HUGE family atmosphere.

Good Luck to all in whatever they do in the future. Best wishes and health to you all........

The fanclub may finish but our shared love for Meat will continue to grow stronger and flourish.

Never Ever Ever STOP ROCCCCCKKKKKIIIIIINNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I signed up as a lifetime member to show my commitment to the Fan Club & Meat - but things change. If it is not a viable option then they have to do what is best.

I would like to thank all that have been involved in keeping this Fan Club going - especially - Mike - Diane & R.

Mike has been very helpful in the past to me personally.
Diane has had some personal problems - but never forgot the forum.
R - well he has done a great job with the website.

My hat goes off to all of them.

Not forgetting all of the Mods too.

I love this forum & glad that it is going to be continuing - we have to show our solidarity to keep it going. I am sure we will.

A BIG THANKS TO ALL INVOLVED IN THE SUCCESS OF THE FAN CLUB TO DATE

I can garuntee that I will still be attending the forum - you don't get rid of me that easily.

ROSIE · 29 Jun 2005, 22:34

I am deeply upset that the paying side of MLUKFC is coming to an end, I was all ready to send off my subscription to the members side of MLUKFC.

I hope that this site, Meat Loaf United Kingdom Fan C?????? will remain still the best Meat Loaf webiste that there is on the web!

I will be remaining here for many years to come and hopefully help, as all other members wil to the running of this fantastic, great, awesome site!!!

Keep doing what you do best R. We all appreciate it and love what you are doing, Thanks

A Sad day to say the least, but i am soo glad that the forum and everything it stands for will continue. I became a member of MLUKFC soon after it started and all i can say is well done to everyone who is associated with it Mike, Diane, R and all the other Moderators on here. Long may it continue to reign. we will never stop rocking.

ROSIE · 30 Jun 2005, 10:46

beehappybatty · 30 Jun 2005, 11:21

Hello ,so sad to read your news as a new member and 1st time message leaver (thats why im not very good at it!)
just wanted to say thankyou xx

beehappy and never ever stop rocking

Mike Piercy · 30 Jun 2005, 13:42

Very many thanks for your kind words and support.

Despite it seeming a bit gloomy we will all still be here and supporting this website by word deed...and cash I suspect, RVM's will continue until August 2006 and if your membership expires during that time you'll be able buy any copies you need.

Any funds raised through the sale of our merchandise and RVM's old and new will be used to maintain this site - we intend to keep it going.

The facts are that the website has a lot of members who were not members of the subscription side, we have a sort of competition in .net for subscription types so that is covered. The web is the future.

Be assured we will be trying to make this site more entertaining than ever and you can help us do that. Stay with us Bat III is on the way and hopefully dates for that...oh and there's the little matter of the Summer Tour.

Harewood for me on Sunday...rain forecast but who cares Meat's on the menu and we're not vegetarians!

By the way this website is still a CLUB!!! Still run by fans for fans and always will be!

Mike

Rosiec211 · 30 Jun 2005, 15:25

Deeply disappointed and still a little confused as to the reason, but thanks go to all who run the fan club and website and all of its members. For some reason I feel less of a fan now if I don't have to keep paying money to show my support, but I shall forever be a Meat Loaf fan and will continue to use the forums!

All my love

I know that the chance was there that the fanclub could close but I thought there was still a possibility that it could go on.

This is a said day for me. I shall mis The RVM's, the reports ,foto's, interviews etc.....

I was a lifetime member but it feels a little like the end of my days..

Thanks to everyone who has done a great job to provide us with a excellent magazine.

Please keep this forum running ........afteral we are a Meat Loaf family.

Marianne.

[B]The more i think about a yearly Donation seems the fitting thing to do, to keep this Club Up and Running,

I really think we owe it to the Club, run by the Fans for the Fans,

Never Say Die,

Keep Rockin,

Bart · 01 Jul 2005, 14:08

I am not a member. I have seen one of the latest RVM's with an interview wit Alan Merrill and I was surprised how good the magazine was! I am sorry that its over. Its already the second time that a Meat Loaf fanclub has come to an end. Back in 87, the former Fanclub I was a member and back then it was the only source of Meatinfo. Nowadays we have the internet and this site. So there are reasonable arguments for closing the fanclub. But then again: was it really necessary that it will come to an end?
