Members of the Paul McCartney Fun Club have received this letter:

THE PAUL McCARTNEY FUN CLUB

PO BOX 110 WESTCLIFF ESSEX SSO 8NW UK

2 October 1998

Dear Fun Club Member, Many members have noticed that Club Sandwich No 86, our special tribute issue to Linda, was sent out without the regular Club Offer or Renewal Sheets. This was partly because it seemed unsuitable to send anything with this memorial, but also because Paul had decided that it was to be the final issue of the magazine.

Paul and Linda created Club Sandwich together almost 21 years ago now. It was their joint project, with Paul as executive editor and Linda as picture editor. Paul now feels that it is not appropriate to continue without her, and therefore we will stop publishing Club Sandwich and will wind up the Paul McCartney Fun Club as well.

All of us who have worked both on the magazine and at the club would like to thank you for your interest and support over the years. We will be doing a separate mailing to refund the outstanding portions of your subscriptions and any credits which are owed, and will have a final sale of club merchandise.

All the best,

Sue.
