This will only be a short newsletter as we haven't received one from England yet. The Fan Club in England has changed hands and the girl who has taken over has a back log of three months letters to answer. As soon as she gets settled we hope to have one of the best run Fan Clubs in Australia.

WHO IN NEW YORK.
Most of you have probably read in the papers about the success the boys had in New York. Fans travelled from all over the States to see their show, also on the bill with them were the "Hardly Worth it Players", "The Young Rascals", "Byrds", "Dion and Tommy Roe". Freddy Cannan and the Young Rascals actually went to see their act one night. For those of you who haven't heard about the electric jacket that Pete wore while in N.Y., here is something about it. It was designed by Pete and cost five hundred pounds sterling ($1,250.00). It is plain white and has fairy lights on it, they are connected to the same circuit as his guitar and for walking in the street they work off a battery. On the 14th. July, the boys started a nine week tour of the States with "Herman's Hermits.

HONORARY MEMBERS.
New honorary members are the Knomes of Obelia, in case some of you do not know who they are, they are from Geelong and are making the way in Victoria.

POLL RESULTS.
Firstly what happened to all you "WHO" fans in the Go Set Pop Poll ? ? ?
They deserve and should have come higher than 5th. Also what happened to all you record buying public. It was such a pity that "Pictures of Lily" didn't catch on well although it was a tremendous disc. You by now must have heard "I can see for Miles". Request it as much as possible as it deserves and ought to make the top 10.

By a poll conducted recently to find the most popular Who songs, here are the results
1. My Generation. 2. I'm a Boy. 3. Substitute
4. Happy Jack. 5. Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere. 6. The Kids are alright.

COMPETITIONS.
As far as competitions go, for the present there isn't but there will definately be one next time. If you have suggestions for a good competition please let me know as soon as possible.

BIRTHDAYS.
It was Keith's birthday on the 23rd. August, he was 21 and John's on the 9th.October, he was 22. Our head secretary Kathy, bought John a kangaroo hide tie. It really is nice. As for Keith's present, I'm not certain yet.

JOHN ENWHISTLE.
Well the first Who is "out of reach". John was engaged to Allison Wise a few months ago. Allison has short black hair, brown eyes and is very slim. On the whole they make a fabulous couple and we all hope they will be happy. Kathy has sent them our congratulations and best wishes.

TAILPIECES.
The Barron Knights have recorded "Lazy Fat People" a Pete Townshend composition - Shame about Honorary Members Paul Revere and The Raiders breaking up. Also terrible about Paul's brother being killed a few months ago - Jean Shrimpton's horse Modesty Blaise foaled and has been christened Lily. Terence Stamp suggested this after hearing "Pictures of Lily". Roger bought Keith and John's old Bentley and is having it resprayed with a picture of Lily on the boot - On the boys last trip to Germany, Keith missed his flight and had to charter a special plane, Keith badly sprained stomach muscles while playing one night and had to have an operation. Pictures of Lily went straight to number 8 on the 5 KA top 50 a week and a half after it was released, - what happened to you here in Victoria, - the highest position it reached on 3 UZ was 21.

The WHO have a new record release - an E.P. It is called "Pictures of The WHO", the songs on it are "Pictures of Lily", Doctor Doctor", "Happy Jack", " "I've been away".

HAPPY JACK. - Pete Townshend.

Happy Jack wasn't old but he was a man, he lived in the sands of the Isle of Man.
The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key.
So they rode on his head on their furry donkey
The kids couldn't hurt Jack, they tried and tried -

They dropped things on his back and lied and lied and lied.
But they couldn't stop Jack or the waters lapping
And they couldn't stop Jack from feeling happy.

Many of you have seen the WHO song book. It is available at Allans as well as other disc. shops. It costs only 80 cents - 8 Who songs and music, plus exclusive pictures.
The songs contained are. -

Happy Jack I'm a Boy
I've been away Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere.
Substitute The Kids are Alright.
In the City My Generation.

Anyway this is all for now and till next time.

FOFN (as John Entwhistle would say ).
