DECEMBER 2006 ISSUE:

Started in 1997, The Friends of Doris Day, (FODD), is an International Doris Day appreciation club based in Oxford, UK - and the only Doris Day fan club in the UK. The club publishes three magazines a year, packed full of articles and information you won't find anywhere else, including memorabilia signed by Doris herself for auction or sale.

In addition to well-researched and presented articles, news, reviews of the latest releases and what's in the pipeline, the magazine contains many sale items, fun quizzes with prizes, letters from members, and photos. The magazine is printed on quality paper averaging 32 A4 sized pages. Two of the three issues each year have covers printed in colour - front and back - and sometimes inside covers as well.

FODD celebrates Doris' birthday each year with a dinner party. We have an annual get-together in Oxford in the summer and meet up for a film show wherever/whenever possible. We keep in regular touch with Doris, and she with us so becoming a member of our friendly club will bring you closer to Doris.
