Trying to wait patiently...

Fans que up to Meet the Beatles at Wimbledon during the fan convention in 1963. 

Up close and personal

When they told the fans at Wimbledon that they would have a chance to get "up close and personal with the Beatles" this fan really took it literally.

Fan club Get together

Here is what it looks like when 3,000 fan que up to meet the Beatles

Waiting to meet the Beatles in person seemed to be a bit too much for this fan to take.

One girl screams for the cameras.

The Fab 4 signed autographs for everyone.

One extremely happy Beatles fan!!!

I don't know about you, but if I heard that the Beatles fan club was having a "Get Together," I would picture fans sitting around singing songs and talking about The Beatles. I would not have pictured when happened in December 1963 when the Southern Area Fan Club had a Get Together and 3,000 fan club members were able to meet the Beatles and see a concert! That must have been one amazing Get Together!!!

Leftovers

So I have had these photos on my harddrive for awhile and they are marked to go on this blog. They don't fit anywhere, but want to clear them out of the computer, so here they are! The leftovers.
