The membership certificate for 1988 had a minor redesign to include images of newer ponies, however the badge remained the same as previous years. Members would receive 'The Adventures in Ponyland Game', a poster based board game with cards cut out from sheets of printed paper. | The membership certificate for 1988 had a minor redesign to include images of newer ponies, however the badge remained the same as previous years.

The Activity Club was the fan club for collectors in the UK during G1, running between 1986 and 1991. For a yearly fee, Club members would receive three packs (a welcome pack, a summer pack and winter pack) featuring newsletters, a membership certificate and badge, assorted gifts and in the latter years a Club exclusive baby pony.

1986 Activity Club
The My Little Pony Activity Club was first advertised (and would subsequently be advertised) in the My Little Pony Comic. As well as the certificate and badge, members would receive two full colour newsletters containing news, puzzles, things to make and pictures sent in by fans. Gifts this year included a drawstring bag and a length of pink ribbon printed with a repeating pattern of four line-drawn ponies in blue.
