Going to America



I love John's reaction in this one.     Isn't that the infamous Maureen Cleeve behind them?

Welcome Beatle fans!

A Beatles Fan Club for fans by a fan.

Following in the footsteps of the great fan newsletters of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, Meet the Beatles...for Real is a Beatles fan club for all fans of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.

This site shares the stories and photos of people that met one or more of the Beatles in person. When you read the stories, please keep in mind the time period they were written and the way of life at that time. None of the fans that hung around the studios or homes of The Beatles were "stalkers." They admired the boys and wanted to see them. They never meant them any harm.

Like all Beatles newsletters, along with the stories of the fans, you will find reviews, contests and a lot of photographs.

This is NOT a historical Beatles site! The dates and locations given could be wrong. Please do more research on your own before using the dates and locations or historical purposes. This site is for FUN!

I find the material in the wonderful fan club newsletters such as The Write Thing & With a Little Help From my Friends. Unless otherwise stated, I do not own the copyright to any photographs posted here. I do not watermark the photos posted here. If you share a photo you found here, PLEASE always give the photographers name if listed (and a mention that you found the photo on this site would be the polite thing to do). If you see a photo or story here that belongs to you, and you do not want it on this site, please contact me at Starshyne9@yahoo.com and I will promise to remove it.
