I only ask as , a long time ago, in a galaxy ..............................................
I was a member of " The james Bond international Fan Club " membership # 00101
( didn't quite make it into the first 100 members )
where I did an "O" level in Bond, having to set aside 45 mins I sat in my kitchen
and did my Best.
Now I didn't do as well as I'd hoped "C+" Although I'm still happy to have it. A
novelty yes But I am proud to have it.

Anyother members of TJBIFC around on AJB and did they take the test ?
If so how did you do ?

I was a member of that! 00235 at your service! -{
Don't remember a test. I do remember applying to join, thinking I had to impress them I was a Bond fan, writing all the films I'd seen, thinking, hey, they won't take just anyone. Didn't quite get how fan clubs worked back then, it's basically, hand over your money...
Something like a fiver for a year, if I recall. Joined in the run-up to OP and NSNA.
I imagine they had lots of more adult members who knew all the Connery films from back in the day.
Roger Moore 1927-2017
Can't remember the yearly fees, still have all the old Fan mags etc, I even had a couple of
letters printed in the readers section. But can't remember when but I lost some interest
in Bond so didn't renew. (Might of been around the time of LTK.)
Althought those old mags have some great articles in them, I must dig them out of the
Attic sometime. -{
Thanks TP for the blast of nostalgia! {[]
You were higher up the pecking order than I though, Thunderpussy...my number was 00/1641 - I still have the original membership card (with photo) in my wallet - I still have the 'Gold Card' membership card they issued later too ;%
That test must have been way before my time...

I had that card too...and a similar problem
Pity they stopped using it...
an Old copy of the 007 mag. I'll put the name foul up down to my Old
age. ;% I still have some Badges and pencils, even one of my old
Membership cards.
But as a Kid it was great to have someone to share thoughs with on all
things Bond, as In my local area I was the Only one.
Kids today don't know how lucky they are with the Internet and forums
like AJB.
I think due to the high cost of printing the Mag was published online to
be downloaded by members But I'd left by that stage. I think I've got a
few cassettes from a couple of conventions, I must give them another
play, Ah Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.
