NEW OUTING! BALLET

Scottish Ballet’s The Nutcracker, Thursday 30 January 2025 at His Majesty’s Theatre, 2.30pm matinee performance

Barbara Marshall is organising this event once again, and will be taking names at the September meeting.  It is important to get firm commitments at that point to secure decent seats, as many may have been sold already.   As a guide only, Barbara expects tickets to be around £33 but will advise actual cost (and payment details) once numbers are known.

Payment will be required by or at the October meeting.  Names can be added after that date, but this will be on a “best seats available at the time” basis.   Barbara can be contacted on barbaramarshall2@gmail.com  or 07879 891276.

The next Granite City Ladies Probus Stroller / Walk will be at 10.30am sharp on Wednesday 16th October 2024 at Duthie Park once again, meet at entrance of Glass House Winter Gardens.  The walk will last about an hour, going around the Brig O’ Dee and King George VI bridges which cross the River Dee. We will terminate the walk at Duthie Park Cafe where I am sure some of you will enjoy a light refreshment. 

The winter gardens opens at 1030am – start time of our walk, if you prefer a refreshment prior to our walk that’s fine as long as you are at the starting point by 1030am.   Transport First Bus No.17 goes down Crown Street from Union Street to Duthie Park and also the No.18, which can be boarded on Union Street (goes down to the Duthie Park via Gt Southern Road.

Please Note: You do not need to let me know if you are coming or not.

 Please remember that everybody is responsible for themselves.  Look forward to seeing all that turn up on the day! 

I do hope to start the walks up again in MARCH 2025 –   Kind regards – Fiona
