Wow, what a cast. If it were the 1950s,
there would be a queue round the block to see Roy Hudd, Ken Dodd, Michael Aspel,
Wyn Calvin and Graham Stark on the same variety bill.
The rise in membership has been
dramatic since the establishment of the Society which has attracted a number of
showbiz personalities. Lord Grade, Sir Peter Blake, Des Lynam, Ronnie Ronalde,
Sir Bruce Forsyth and
Jimmy Perry are just some of the faithful celebrity supporters.

to keep our memory of Max alive in various ways:
-
Social
evenings - Meets on the last Friday of
alternative months in
Brighton
-
Special
events - stages shows, gala dinners, conventions,
ceremonies, garden parties
-
Memorabilia - collects and exhibits Max's original suit,
photographs, song sheets, posters and programmes
-
Commemorative
plaques -
erection
of blue plaques on homes owned by Max
-
Journal - four issues a year; worth the annual
membership fee alone!
-
Publication

and the New Max Miller Blue Book
