As a kid, and even as an adult, I’ve always appreciated a good fan club kit.\u00a0 I fondly recall getting my Star Wars Fan Club Kit back in 1978 with all the goodies that came along with that first package.\u00a0 Today I’ll be sharing the super-cool contents Cadbury’s CurlyWurly Club Kit from 1982.<\/p>\n

Regular visitors to CollectingCandy might already know I’m a big CurlyWurly fan.\u00a0 I’ve documented my passion for the brand in a pair of previous posts; here<\/a> and here<\/a>.\u00a0 Over the next few days, I’ll be updating my CurlyWurly coverage with a number of new discoveries and additions, culminating in a new visual timeline of wrappers.\u00a0 A big discovery for me was the topic of today’s post; the CurlyWurly Club Kit.<\/p>\n

I was able to add this club kit to my collection just a few months ago, and as a big CurlyWurly fan it was exciting to see it pop up.\u00a0 Before this one appeared on eBay, I wasn’t even aware of this kit or the CurlyWurly Club at all.\u00a0 This one has all the appropriate fan club kit fixins, so let’s get to it.<\/p>\n

First up is the mailer that the kit would have arrived in.\u00a0 I’ve taken the liberty of obscuring the key details of the original owner’s identity:<\/p>\n

The kit came with a nice four-page flyer that included a short comic as well as a cut-out mask. It appears that the intent was to send out follow-up newsletters every four months, but I don’t know if the club lasted past this initial offering.<\/p>\n
