The magazine of the London and Surrey Fan Club
(Jump straight to the

Being a Cliff Richard fan
makes you a person with excellent taste in my book!
My name is
Carol Hall and I am President of the London and Surrey fan club.
 First of all, let me give you a
little history about the regional and world wide fan clubs. Once upon a time,
back when the swinging 60's were upon us, Cliff had one centralised fan club,
based in the UK. Now legend tells me that this particular club ran into
financial difficulties, for reasons that are not known to me. I'm told
that Cliff had to bail the club out and at the time, vowed never to do it again.
Therefore many independent regional and worldwide clubs sprang up over the
years, due to Cliff's increased popularity. The fan clubs are not
official. There is no official fan club. Cliff is not directly
involved with every club. Each club will
do it's own publicity (as I'm doing now) to promote and entice members to join.
I have been running this club for quite a number of years now, and as I
was previously a member, I've a good idea of what people want to read about, as
well as being able to try and provide the Cliff information as quickly as
possible! I get much enjoyment out of keeping you
guys happy! I am always willing to help if you have any questions!
Other UK - perhaps in your area - and Worldwide fan clubs
are listed here.
One
point that I do have to make very clear. The Cliff Richard fan clubs
throughout the UK, on some occasions, rarely get priority information
regarding Cliff and his activities. Many of you had disappointing results when
it came to trying to get through for the tour tickets. My advice to you for future dates and concerts is, try another
ticket supplier but it must be one that is recommended as a ticket supplier.
Don't be fooled by some people who advertise front row seats for Cliff -
guaranteed! They won't be and you will lose your money! I bought my tickets through Ticket Master (TM) and managed
to get through to them much faster than I did whilst trying the official hotline at the same
time. I’m sure that if I hadn’t tried TM, like many of you, I wouldn’t
have been able to get tickets either. Cliff has always maintained that he
doesn't think that the fan clubs should get priority information all of the
time as he has such a huge fan following. So he tries to be fair in the
distribution of the information that he releases. As there is a grapevine
of contacts throughout the country, so we often do get information in plenty
of time for release: be it concerts, single and albums, no matter how Cliff
decides to release the news officially. (Cliff's secrets don't say secret
for long it has to be said!) We do not (or at least extremely rarely) ever
get priority seats at concerts, nor can I or any other club, guarantee that as
club members you will ever be able to purchase 'the best seats in the house'
just because we are in the fan club. I'm sorry but Cliff just doesn't think
that it's fair to those members that aren't in his fan clubs. I, like you,
have to queue with the 1000's of other people to get tickets. I hope that
this fact doesn't put you off joining. It's a great club - honest!
About the
Club itself:
I produce a bi-monthly magazine,
which I sincerely hope you will be pleased to received. My
club magazine is called
Cliff
Guaranteed. It's an A5 book of at least, and quite often
more than, 24 pages all packed with all
sorts of Cliff information.
As I've explained, I will always do my very best to provide you with as much Cliff information as possible. With
competitions and magazine reports, I also very much encourage member
participation for reports and extra items that I may not have heard about.
This web site is to promote the club rather than detract from the magazines that I
produce, therefore in order for you to benefit from everything I have to
offer, please consider joining the club. Details of joining fees can be
found below. The
membership includes: all postage costs, a laminated membership card (with colour
picture), 6 issues of
Cliff
Guaranteed annually,
extra information when divulged by the
Cliff Richard Organisation (which
is sent out in URGENT in SAE's supplied by yourselves and kept on file in
my office or preferably by email so don't forget to provide me with an email
addy!), a pencil, a colour photo of the man himself, a fridge sticker, a small note pad and a club badge. Please print out and complete the
joining
form and please don't forget to send your remittance. If you have
any questions, feel free to email me!
