The Sharpe Appreciation Society was formed in 1996 amid growing demands from fans wanting more information about the books, TV series, the people involved in making the series, the Napoleonic period, weaponry, in fact anything remotely connected with Sharpe. After finding there was no central point of contact for fans, Chris Clarke, then secretary, made contact with Richard Rutherford-Moore (historical and technical advisor to the series) and wrote to the author Bernard Cornwell as well as Malcolm Craddock, one of the producers. With Richard Moore's help, Chris started the fan club in July 1996 expecting 50 to 100 fans to join her. We now have 1300 fans across the world and they are still joining! In May 1998, we held our first convention, where we were joined by Bernard Cornwell, Malcolm Craddock, Muir Sutherland and some of the actors involved in bringing the world of Sharpe to life (including some of whom hadn't worked on the series for years). It says a lot for the passion held for Sharpe by the fans as well as the actors who still feel something for Sharpe and come along to various events to meet fans. We are the official fan club, approved by the author, producers, Carlton Television and Central Television. For more information, please write to Marilyn ( ) who will be pleased to send you an application form. As Many of you will know by now, it is with much sadness that I must inform you that Chris Clarke, 'Founder' and former Secretary of the SAS passed away in her sleep on Friday 1st May. Our sincere condolences go out to her family as they have lost a Wife and Mother and we have lost the 'heart' of the Society. updates
