The Official International ABBA Fan Club celebrated its 30th Anniversary by holding its Fan Club weekend for the first time in Stockholm.

Talks were given by Mia Sergolsson (Universal Music) and Ing-Marie Halling.  Görel Hanser was also there and during her talk she said she would phone Benny .... shortly after, he surprised the room by walking in! He spoke to the fans and answered questions before thanking Helga and Anita from the Fan Club and then he played Thank You For The Music and the fans sang along.

It must have been wonderful to have been there.  I would have been an emotional wreck.

Thanks to ABBAtalk for compiling a video with the best of the private footage shot that day, and thanks to the fans who shared their footage - which is where the pictures come from.
