THE

MAX MILLER

APPRECIATION SOCIETY

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.

The Society helps 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 - The Max Miller Appreciation Society's Blue Book and the New Max Miller Blue Book

• Merchandise - sells a variety of items, see SHOPPING page
