Taming the Clarkson’s!

The Spice office is all a-buzz at the moment tying down lots of unusual new events so that our Spring

Newsletter can go to press.

One thing I have learnt from running a Spice group is that many of our most talented and popular

suppliers are also the most eccentric and difficult to pin down and manage! It’s a problem that the BBC would identify with – particularly at the moment!

Yet when you are looking for events that are out of the ordinary and have that certain magic that the

members expect from Spice, you are unlikely to find it from people who are “conventional”.

However, in this world of word-perfect politicians and other people who seem so busy worried about doing something “incorrect” that they rather forget

to do anything “impressive” – it’s rather refreshing to discover talented people who are different.

So I am going to put in a good word for the Great British Eccentric. It would be a much duller world ..

and Spice Group without you!

Just so long as none of you punch me .. Alright!

Enjoy Rugby at Moseley

This is a big year for the game, with England hosting the Rugby World Cup. So we’ve organised a

hospitality day at a crucial Moseley Match that includes a talk by a player so that novices can learn what “hookers”, “rucks” & “scrums” are all about!

We also get a meal and private box, all at a very reasonable Spice price! Don’t miss it. See HERE

We’ve magiced up more tickets for Harry!

Such has been the demand for our trip by coach to Warner Brothers Studios announced last week that our allocation of tickets flew out of the door like an owl on butterbeer! But worry not, we have added a second timeslot and a bigger coach so that another
