Courchevel Ski Trip - Urgent Reminder
You all looked frightful darlings!
We’re rapidly coming to the point where our tour operator will be seeking the return of any unsold rooms for our annual Spice West Mids Ski Trip. So if you are one of the many people out there who are excited about the trip and keep telling us you’re definitely going to come along - but haven't yet booked your place - please, please get your booking in quickly or you may well be disappointed. We will keep our "early booking discount" open for a few days to make the decision even easier! If you haven't been on one of these Ski Trips before and have any questions, please call Maggie for a chat on 0121 353 6161. You won't regret it, these trips are always brilliant! Click HERE
There are few bigger challenges for a Spice Coordinator than a room of party animals who are unrecognisable due to their fabulous fancy dress! So if Maggie and I greeted you with a puzzled look last Saturday, we hope you will understand why! Of course I am speaking of our Halloween Sleepover at the Arden Hotel, where the ghostly, grizzly and grotesque were all on show to amazing effect. If you weren’t there or haven’t already seen the photos on our Facebook Page – click HERE (if you dare) Oh, and if you were the person who came down to reception in the middle of the night in devil makeup and in a T Shirt (nothing else) because you had locked yourself out of your room .. the (amused) staff “grassed you up” and your story will feature in the next version of my talk “It could only happen in Spice” (Note to self – always check which door is the bathroom and which is corridor before you go to bed in a hotel room!)
Puddings Galore! Just a quick reminder not to miss out on our Pudding Party next week. So long as you haven’t also booked our “Biggest Loser” challenge (“uncle” Mark will be checking!) you can click HERE
October – The Movie

We had so much fun last month that Sue has produced a video slideshow of some of the highlights of what was an amazing Spice month. See if you’re in it! Click HERE
