About the talk

Join fellow Boundless members for an entertaining afternoon with John Clithero, who will give a talk about the lives and laughter of Morecambe and Wise.

Born in York and now living in Haxby, John took early retirement before becoming a freelance sports journalist and broadcaster, working with the BBC, national and regional newspapers, private sports agencies and the worldwide internet.

With additional experience as an on-stage actor and singer, John was invited to become a guest speaker on cruise ships, delivering a wide range of presentations covering theatre, cinema, television, radio, music, musicals and sport. He has almost 40 different presentations in his portfolio.

This presentation tells the story of how two talented young teenagers met and worked hard to become Britain’s best-loved comedy duo, enjoying a remarkable 40-year career together. It includes slides of many memorable moments from their stage and television appearances, with inevitable reference to ‘playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order!’

With plenty of audience involvement, this promises to be an enjoyable afternoon of nostalgia, laughter and sunshine on a February afternoon.

Free parking, along with complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits, will be available.

I’ve never been to a social event before, what can I expect?

Social events are a relaxed and friendly way for Boundless members to come together, meet new people and enjoy shared interests.

Activities vary from group to group and can include anything from a museum visit or pub lunch to a guest speaker talk or games night. Groups are always pleased to welcome new faces.


Can I bring a guest with me to the event?

In most cases, yes. Guests are welcome at social events, as long as one person attending is a Boundless member.

There may be occasional exceptions, it’s always best to reach out and ask. You can used the contact details on the group’s home page or in the ‘How to book’ section of the event page.


Is there a cost to attend?

This depends on the event. Many social events are free, particularly those held at local venues. Some events, such as trips or special activities, may have a cost, but you may also be able to take advantage of exclusive Boundless member discounts.
