[Daddy wouldn't buy me a Bow Wow!!!!]
The Richard Franklin Bow Wows
Late Saturday night, during the Tardis 22 convention, a
meeting was called in Sally's room (the UNIT girl everyone
sees). What kind of meeting was it? It was a meeting of
the Richard Franklin Bow Wows. I know, your next question
is "What the hell is a Bow Wow?". If you have ever been to
one of the conventions where Richard Franklin does his lit-
tle skit, you would know what a bow wow was. It is some-
thing that I really can't explain here, but rather it is
something that you would have to see to believe.
The Bow Wows is the official fan club of Richard Franklin.
Yes, he was there at the meeting, giving guidance. The
object of the club is charity. It is not like DWFCA, where
there is money making involved. It is officially been
declared a non-profit organization. Money earned, after
expenses, is turned over to a different charity every year.
This year it is African famine relief.
There are local clubs, that are called kennels. Depending
on the size of any area, there will be an area director
created. All of those details have to worked out yet. The
idea is for the local kennels to do things to raise money.
Not one penny of this will ever see Richard Franklin's
pocket. The aim is to get the money where it is needed.
Membership is $6.50 per year. For more information, write:

When you write, tell them that I sent you.
If you would like to write to Richard Franklin directly,

This is not one of these fans for fans type clubs. It is
worthwhile and something to think about.
