Edinburgh Festival dates announced August may seem a long way away, but Spice Scotland have just opened their legendary Edinburgh Festival Bank Holiday Weekend for bookings. This year they are just offering the one long weekend, so if you want to be sure of a place and get your flights or trains at a reasonable price, now is the time to get your deposit in. See HERE
Anne is Member 20,000! It was great fun surprising our lovely member Anne Kingham on Monday at The Snowdome with her award for becoming member number 20,000 of Spice West Midlands. This means that Anne is the 20,000th person to "take the plunge" and join this group in the 22 year history of Spice in the West Midlands. Of course, not all those 20,000 are still in membership, however, we do have several hundred who have clocked up over 15 years! See photo HERE
A year of Sport & Fitness If (like me!) your resolutions for 2015 involved getting in shape, the first (and easiest!) step can be joining our special “Sport, Fun & Fitness Group” on Facebook. It now has over 300 members and is a great way of keeping up to date with all those healthy events as they are announced. See HERE

Elvis Impersonators, Tamworth Canoes and Hide & Seek Rambles! Yes, we’re busy planning new events at the Spice Office to meet the demands of all the members new and old who are looking to make 2015 extra special. Above is just an example of some unusual conversations that Maggie and I have had so far this week that will hopefully end up as fabulous new events in our programme. We’re also putting together our programme of parties for the year, so if you have any ideas or preferences, this is a great time to let us know. Do you prefer live music or DJ entertainment? City centre or out of town? Sleep over or evening only? “Cheap and cheerful” or “posh Spice”? Email Us With such a diverse membership, we know we can’t please all of you, all of the time. but hopefully we’ll delight all of you for some of the time in 2015!
