Get Away – it’s so much better with Spice friends
For the Benefit of Mr Kite .. there will be a show tonight (on New Year’s Eve!). Yes, this is the one that you have all been waiting for. Our amazing themed New Years Eve Party has been launched with a stunning “Magical Mystery Circus” Theme. The Crowne Plaza Hotel will be transformed into the “big top” by a professional theming company and as usual Spice are taking over the whole hotel so we can see in 2014 in spectacular style!

Yes, it’s August, the time when Tycoons retreat to their yachts and mere mortals get acquainted with canvas, caravans and buckets & spades. With Spice the possibilities for 2013/14 are endless, whether you want to explore exotic parts of the world with friends or whether your bank manager has suggested a “staycation” is more in order this year! I have the privilege tomorrow of taking a group of Spicers for a Spice UK week in Moscow and St Petersburg which promises to be fascinating. Above all with these trips it is good to know that you will be with a great group of like minded people with that Spice spirit of fun and friendship. If you might be tempted by a Spice UK overseas trip, we have included their monthly update as a supplement to this email – so take a look. Also check our own short breaks to Istanbul, Stockholm & Prague. 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”.
