Weekly Bulletin Issue 69. September 12th 2013
Learn to Fly by Silk! Every so often we find you the opportunity to try something truly amazing! If you’ve ever been mesmerised by the grace and beauty of performers gracefully descending on aerial silks at opening ceremonies or Cirque du Soleil shows perhaps, then this is for you! We have teamed up with a circus theatre group to show us how – and anyone can do it, even if you hate heights, as many of the most spectacular moves can be practiced near the ground! Click HERE
Remember August? We had so much fun that Sue decided to put some highlights as a video slideshow .. then I forgot to include it last week! Better late than never: HERE
Discover Yoga & Pilates What better treat for the mind, body and spirit this Saturday than a beginners introduction to these wonderful arts. Don’t miss out, click HERE
Photo of the Week The much coveted Photo of the Week prize goes to Lucy Edwards for her skydive shot from Sunday. That man on your back looks dodgy Lucy! See HERE
Experience Everest Come and hear the remarkable story from Dr Chris Imray of how he and a group of Doctors took on the ultimate mountaineering challenge. His presentation is quite superb and includes photos and BBC video footage. Be inspired, click HERE
Be a TV extra next Thursday! Due of the reputation of our members being lovely people who are “up for anything”, opportunities come into the Spice office all the time - particularly from TV companies. I have just had a call from The Gadget Show who are filming next week at The Ackers in Birmingham and need a small group of ramblers in their rambling kit for an item they are doing about outdoor living. You will get to work (albeit in the background!) with presenters Jason Bradbury and Rachel Riley. If you’re fancy being on TV, have ramble kit and can commit to next Thursday 19th between 2 & 4pm, please email me urgently: richard@spicebham.com If we get too many offers, we will have to look at sex/ age mix and draw from a hat. As ever, this Bulletin is designed to give you a quick overview of what is happening this week in Spice. “Anything in blue - should click through”.

Don’t miss Sex with Lesley It’s the chance only comes around once a year! Yes, the wonderful Lesley Smith (Historian, Curator of Tutbury Castle, TV Ghost Hunter etc) is giving her infamous talk on Sex & Contraception in 1580 for Spice at Lea Marston Hotel on September 24th and if you haven’t heard this presentation before, you’re in for a treat! Anything could happen, including leather condoms, fruit(!) and some frightful demonstrations! It’s all historically accurate including her amazing costume and in the best possible taste! Click HERE
