So what does the UK Journey Fan Club have to offer YOU? Well, there's a great crowd of people, a real friendly forum, all the latest news, and MUCH MORE! Cathy, Mike, Sue and Marty who run the UK Journey Fan club will always do their level best to make sure you know where and when your favourite band will be touring. Marty takes some great pictures of all the gigs he visits, Cathy, some of her drawings have raised pounds for our charity auctions. When Journey tour the UK we all help each other out with travel directions, where to stay, and there is always a designated pre-show meeting place too, and sometimes an after show party. Once a year the UK Fan Club organise an official meeting, a get together where fans travel form far and near to have a really good time, put a face to the people you've been talking to on the forum, and raise money for charity. There's ussually a fan shop, and raffles and auctions for some fabulous prizes. Theres usually a support group as well for a little entertainment. |
