About the INWFC
Dear visitor,
here you’ll get a first impression of the INWFC!
Our main purpose is to get to know as much NW fans from all over the world as possible, organise gatherings and travels to concerts and other events. The most important purpose is therefore getting to know new people who are listening to the same kind of music and having the same interests, we want to support the intercultural communication as much as possible!
Because there are many, many fans out there, we thought there must be ONE contact point for them all, not only the regional fan clubs.

Structure of the INWFC:
There will be no single "leader" so far. Recommended will be a group of responsible persons in every country and city, so we can assure availability at every time and every place to our members. For clarifying this structure we’ve created a little diagram. For enlarging, just run your mouse over the picture.
Explanation of the diagram:
Because we’re called an international fan club, we have to actually be international, i.e. there must be a couple of countries involved. Due to the fact that the initiators are situated in Germany, there must be at least one person in every other country that acts as an extension for the initiators. These people are called "Country Managers" (CM).
Every CM will be responsible for the members of the particular country but will of course be instructed by the initiators and get supported by them and the other CM.
As soon as there are enough members, there will also be so called "Area Managers" who will be responsible for the members of their particular area/city and support the CM.
Planned offerings and activities:
Please note:
All points mentioned above are still in a PLANNING PROCESS. Every idea and offering to support this project is absolutely welcome. And of course, the list above will be continued!
Charges:
There will be no membership fee at all, but since we‘ll have to send the membership cards to our international members, there will be an admission fee of €5,00 that covers the production and shipping costs.

Planned offerings and activities:
- A membership card
- A little welcome gift
- Chat & Forum, fast communication between the members (e.g. via Skype Cast, MSN etc.)
- Support for your travels, e.g. recommendations for accommodation possibilities
- Visit NW concerts and discover new cities with other fan club members.
An INWFC city guide is planned, read more in the "Projects" section! - Non concert related gatherings whenever there’s time and possibility
- A Fan club magazine, where members can make effort in writing articles, poems and everything else they want to write about Nightwish, the fan club, or other common topics
- Provide as much information about the band as we can including the whole past, side projects, current situation, future and of course we’ll give you information of all NW releases and merchandising.
- Shipping service: If some NW merchandising is not available in your country, we’ll seek a possibility for shipping it to you.
