On this day, the official Beatles’ Fan Club closed.
Freda Kelly, who had been running it for 11 years, noted:
Paul pulled out of the fan club last August and John, George and Ringo in January. So there was no point in keeping the project running as a corporate Beatles fan club with the four principals shooting off in different directions. […] Around 1965 the membership was 80,000 … the membership now is down to 11,000.
