Back in the 1970s the Hardcore Clint Eastwood fans only had
one way of keeping up with the Clint Eastwood news and what was happening in
Clintworld – It was of course The Clint Eastwood Appreciation Society. It was formed
here within the UK by my long-time friend Davy Turner. Many of those original
members continue to help me to this day. It’s a strong bond that never weakens.
It was because of those great days that I began this site, in order to continue
that community spirit. Today two of those original members David Vernall-Downes
and his brother Jonathan Downes sent me a reworking of the original 4 page
debut (January 1978) edition of the CEAS magazine. It’s a wonderful reminder of
what could be done back in the days of a simple manual typewriter, a
photocopier and a very tight budget. It all looks very simple and humble when
viewed today, but it was the start of our own little piece of paper paradise. So, for nostalgic reasons, I’ve reproduced
those 4 simple pages here on the Archive as it should be.
A very big thank you to David Vernall-Downes, Jonathan
Downes and of course Davy Turner for without whom…

I used to subscribe to the CEAS back when I was a kid growing up in England, pre-internet! Takes me back just to hear about it again I thought it was long forgotten!
