About 10 years ago a friend told me that in the music store CD Select in the Tyger Valley Shopping Centre there is a notice in connection with an Elvis Fan Club. I called Annemarie and 10 years later, the fan club is still going strong.
When I think back, it's the new friends I made and all the beautiful music and everything I learned about Elvis, that bring only beautiful memories.
There were a lot of laughs when a few of us had to paint banners, blew up balloons and decorate the hall for the dances that we held.
Many have come and gone but a few fans kept attending the get-togethers. As it happens, we had to loose our dear friends and club members Joel and Sylvia for ever when they passed on.
We had outings, Amazing Race quizzes and much more, but what I still enjoy most is Elvis' music and of course the movies and do not forget when we could tear apart the "Colonel" during one of our discussions!

Long live Elvis' music and the Fan Club!
