SOCIAL SECRETARY SOCIAL EVENTS REPORT

NOVEMBER 2023 – 24

Again we have had a very successful and full year of Social Activities, all of which have been well  supported by the Membership. There have been no Health & Safety issues.

We were sad to lose Saffords Coaches who ceased trading earlier this year, however Cozy Coaches are now our prime travel supplier and we have already completed several successful trip with them this year.

DECEMBER 2023 – We attended the Thursford Spectacular using our usual format i.e Mince Pies and Coffee at the Olde Windmill Inn, Great Cressingham prior to the Show, and returning to the Inn for a Christmas Dinner on the way home. As always a very enjoyable day.

FEBRUARY 2024 – 52 Members attended the Birmingham International Tattoo at the Resorts World Arena, Birmingham.  The event was an enjoyable and eclectic mix of military bands and local music and dance groups

JUNE 2024 – For our Annual ‘Spring Break’ Holiday members enjoyed a 4‑night mid-week break at the Swan  Hotel, Harrogate.  During the week we had two outings – a Boat Trip around York, with the afternoon as free time and a visit to Newby Hall, Ripon with a tour around the magnificent house and gardens.

JULY 2024 – The Annual Probus BBQ, was held again at Ickwell Cricket Ground, utilising external caterers. A big thank you to Peter Onion who arranged for the Ickwell Cricket Club to allow us to use their facilities.

SEPTEMBER 2024 – A change this year from having a number of ‘Day Outings’ during the summer to another 4‑night mid-week break in September, this time to Potters Resort, Hopton .  This was very a very well supported and enjoyable break and some Members took part in a two day Bowls Competition.

December 2024 – For our usual ‘Christmas warm-up’ this year 53 Members are booked to attend ‘Carols at the Royal Albert Hall’ in December.
