The George Formby Society is excited to announce a special weekend-long celebration on the Isle of Man to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the iconic film, "No Limit." This film, released in 1935, was largely filmed on the beautiful Isle of Man and holds a special place in the hearts of Formby fans. The weekend, scheduled for Friday, July 25th to Sunday, July 27th, 2025, will offer a unique opportunity for society members to: • Immerse themselves in Formby's legacy: Visit filming locations and explore the island's rich history. • Experience the "No Limit" exhibition: The Manx Museum will showcase a comprehensive exhibition dedicated to the film and George Formby himself. • Connect with fellow fans: Join other enthusiasts for special events, screenings, and opportunities to share stories and memories. Nick Saunders and Andrew Poppleton have meticulously planned this event to provide an unforgettable experience for all attendees. For more information on the trip and to register, please contact Andrew Poppleton or visit the George Formby Society website. For many Formby fans, “No Limit” is considered to be within the top three of George Formby’s twenty films and is the one film that reaches outside the GFS with the added interest of motor bikes and the world famous Isle of Man TT race week.
