The Doctor Who Appreciation Society or DWAS was a non-profit making body formed in 1976 with 70 members. By 1982 it had some 1,700 members.

It was the only Doctor Who fanclub officially recognized by the BBC. The BBC's support was largely a way of channelling much of the fan interest that wexisted that even required John Nathan-Turner the then producer to have two secretaries (Jane Judge and Fiona ?).
