To ask if anyone remembers this children’s club from the 90s?

This is the most trivial thing and I have so much more to worry about at the moment, but for some reason keeps popping into my head! Very silly post, sorry!

So I remember when I was young being in a club for children that was based on journalism. You sent away and got a reporters notebook if I remember correctly, and the usual gumph like a membership card.

Does anyone remember this and know what the club was called??? It’s really annoying me! (I know I’m being unreasonable for using AIBU for such a question!!)

Ignore me, I didn't read properly, I'm thinking about a kids TV programme based on journalism Blush

Ah, I think it was the Press Pack! Thank you! I’m very annoyed I can’t find any pictures of the stuff online or many references to it though!!

There used to be loads of clubs or opportunities for writing and getting mail when I was a kid... I was in a pen pal club run by Royal Mail called Hola! I wish I still had all the stuff from that but I decluttered it I think :( Blue Peter, never did get a Blue Peter badge!! iSpy club...

Ah, nostalgia!!

It was run by newsround. I remember being in it. Think i had a card and stuff. If i remember you had to send a pound away to join.

I was in Hola too! I’d totally forgotten about that!

OliviaBonas · 07/01/2018 23:47

I was in that! Yes I think it was run by Newsround.
