ABBAMAIL is an on-line community of
ABBA fans. We are the only independent, uncensored site that advocates for
ABBA fandom.
We have a mission to keep ABBA fans in
touch with the wide-world of ABBA - whether they live in Australia, America or
Austria! Read our mission statement to get an idea of why ABBAMAIL was
created and what we are all about. We are a unique fan-based organisation run by
fans for fans. Although ABBAMAIL was created to help the global ABBA fan
community, it is not a fan club. ABBAMAIL is not officially endorsed or
authorised by ABBA nor their associated companies. ABBAMAIL began life in
January 1997 as an internet mailing list to keep fans informed and is known as
the most reliable and current source of information on the internet for all
things ABBA.
ABBAMAIL's services include our
internet mailing list, our comprehensive website, our fan forum, chat room, fan
publications and fan events as well this small merchandise section. Our website
receives around 25,000 hits each month. Whitread Pty Ltd is the company behind
ABBAMAIL. It was set up in 1997 to ensure that ABBAMAIL's many activities were
administrated properly. Graeme Read and Grant Whittingham are the people behind
ABBAMAIL. They have all been involved in ABBA fandom since the 1970s when they
ran the Australian ABBA Fan Club (1976-1983). Over the last 30 years they have
been involved in running ABBA conventions, events, promoting ABBA releases and
generally trying to improve the lot of ABBA fans around the world. ABBAMAIL is
serious about ABBA and helping ABBA fans - we have an outstanding track record
that speaks for itself.
The purpose of ABBAMAIL's small
merchandise section is to raise the necessary funds to keep the organisation
running and to be able to continue to provide services for ABBA fans across the
world. Our merchandise section does not compete with officially released
material - a key part of ABBAMAIL's mission for the last decade has been to
promote, encourage and facilitate ABBA fans to buy the officially released CDs,
Videos, Books and DVDs. ABBAMAIL merchandise is offered for 'hard core' ABBA
fans who have all the official products and still aren't satisfied. They want to
expand their ABBA fandom and experience.
By purchasing ABBAMAIL merchandise, you
are supporting ABBAMAIL's activities and helping to ensure that we can keep
helping ABBA fans around the world! For more details contact info@abbamail.com or on
