ELIZABETHAN EXPERIENCE – GLOBE THEATRE
7th NOVEMBER 2011
The visit includes a guided tour of the Globe and a walk down Bankside to the archaeological site of the Rose Theatre. The exhibition at the Globe explores the remarkable story of the theatre and uses a range of interactive displays and live demonstrations. Find out about extravagant Elizabethan costumes, musical instruments and how they were used. There will be an Elizabethan dressing demonstration using clothes from the Globe wardrobe. Find out the origin of the phrases ‘straight-laced’, ‘loose women’ and ‘pin money’. Departing Chichester at 9.15 (Oaklands Way), we aim to arrive at the Globe at 11.30. This should give us time for lunch and a look round the shop. There is a brasserie, bar and coffee counter with sandwiches, hot drinks and snacks available all day. The tour starts at 1.00 p.m. and finishes at 3.45 at the Swan at the Globe café for tea/coffee and biscuits.
We depart at approx 4.45. Price £35 (£10 deposit), includes £17 entrance fee and afternoon tea.

THE DELIGHTS OF TUSCANY AND UMBRIA
SEPTEMBER 2012
It would appear from the proposed trips to Europe in 2011 that there were more single Members wishing to travel than doubles, and the single person supplement put the holiday out of some people’s reach. With this in mind, we are proposing to take a group to Italy next September with more single accommodation available and no supplement added on to the cost of the holiday.
We would fly to Rome, staying in Tuscany for the duration of our stay, visiting Perugia, Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, Siena, Chianti for wine tasting, Florence, the capital city of Renaissance Art and Bobens Gardens. The itinerary would be finalised nearer our departure date. 6 days, 5 nights, £699, no single person supplement. Doubles welcome.
If you are interested in joining us, please contact Denise so that we can start to formulate a group and know if it will be viable to run.
