Weekly Bulletin Issue 128. November 6th 2014
Raft the River Severn! Spice have rafted the Zambezi, the River Kwai and the whole length of the Grand Canyon. But never before have Spice rafted Shropshire! But it’s one of the more unusual events that we’ve already booked up for our Spring events programme and we know you’re going to love it! We’re working closely with world famous raft expert Nigel Winfield so that on April 19th, Spice members will be amongst the first to make the journey from Ironbridge to Jackfield click to join us HERE
To Kill a Mockingbird now includes “Q&A” We’ve got just 2 tickets left now to see the new West End production of To Kill a Mockingbird in 3 weeks’ time. Even better, on the night we’ve chosen, the theatre have arranged an after show talk and question and answer session with the company. So if you are a lover of the work of Harpur Lee and the inner workings of the theatre, click HERE
Live to play .. play to live! I was visiting a stately property in Northumberland last week when I came across a play room. Not a play room for kids, but one that was very much aimed at the “mature” Victorian. On the table was a tapestry reading:
“We don't stop playing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing” Two days later I found myself on the dance floor at our spectacular Halloween Party with people of all ages in the craziest fancy dress and playing very hard indeed! (for proof - see the pics HERE) I was instantly taken back to those words of wisdom in that tapestry of Lord Trevelyan’s. Spice has taught me that the secret of youth is not found in a bottle or under the surgeon’s knife, but in our decision to hold onto our ability to play and have fun! So keep on playing .. As ever, this Bulletin is designed to give you a quick overview of what is happening this week in Spice.
