Weekly Bulletin Issue 79. November 21st 2013
Help us to Wake up the Zoo One of our favourite events is coming up this Sunday morning at Dudley Zoo and there are a couple of places left for late bookers. It’s the opportunity to tour the zoo with a keeper and a friendly group of Spice members and discover how the animals start their day. Not only does this involve feeding some of the animals, but we also get a full English breakfast ourselves! Grab one of the last places HERE
A Golden Opportunity We love to celebrate those traditional trades from our region that have led the world. Next Thursday afternoon we have a few last minute places on our annual visit to the Assay Office in Birmingham which has been hallmarking gold and silver since 1773. If you love precious jewellery and want to see how history and high tech now co-exist after 240 years of service Click HERE
Woof Woof Wag! Do your dogs get envious when you go out without them to enjoy your Spice events? If so, pop them in the boot and join me in Sutton Park this Sunday for another of our fun Dog Walks. It’s a free event with a charity collection. Click HERE
Photo of the Week This week’s prize goes to Helen Astbury for her pic of Jon Colley “mastering” the snowboard! See HERE
From the land of fire & ice to the city of 100 spires! I had the privilege last week of leading two lovely groups of Spice members on overseas trips. I started the week in Iceland where we experienced amazing waterfalls, spouting geysers and all the incredible things that you can find in a land that is still being formed by nature. In total contrast, I then took a group of 21 to Prague to discover the rich history and quirky delights of this beautiful baroque capital. Maggie and I are now working around the clock to get our Spring events programme finalised, so if there is anything you would like to discover with Spice it is the perfect time to let us know and we will try to get it booked for 2014. Thanks also to all of you who helped us raise £110 for the BBC’s Children in Need last Friday. If you missed the picture of the Spice team in their pyjamas, you can still find it HERE 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”.
