SPRING/SUMMER EXTRAVAGANZA
THURSDAY 16 MAY
A wonderful opportunity to visit Exbury Gardens in Hampshire.
Travel by coach with several convenient pick
up points between Lancing and Angmering.
The trip will include coach travel, entry to
the Gardens and ticket to ride on the steam railway
Although the trip will be free for those
members who paid their 2018 sub, we will require a £15 deposit (payable by
cheque to the
Blueberry Muffins), which will be
returned on the day of travel.
Latest date for £15 cheque
deposit payments to Queen Jenny or Queen Judy will be 20th April latest. After that date any
spare seats will be offered to non-members
Members are able to bring friends; however, we
will hold a waiting list for friends and places will be available once all our
members have had a chance to secure their own places. Any friends joining
us will need to wear Red Hat colours/hat etc. and pay a non-refundable
£20.00. We have a 49 seater coach, so
there should be room
Saturday 6th April March
Denton Lounge 10 am
We will meet this month at the Denton Lounge,
Marine Parade Worthing. As usual, no
need to book but hopefully a good number of our ladies will be coming to enjoy
a Saturday morning coffee and a chat
Sunday Lunch Club
“The Last Resort”
Sunday 28th April 1pm
Because of Easter, our regular Sunday lunch
will be on the fourth rather than third Sunday, but we will have a chance to
sample this delightful private club at 72 Marine Parade Worthing and enjoy one
of their delicious roasts.
Please contact Countess Krissy as soon as you
can to let her know if you would like her to book you a seat.
Knit & Natter
Thursday 18th April 2pm – 4pm
Angie, the Princess Cucina, will be hosting
this month. Please do let her know if you would like to come so she can cater
for you. Contribution to costs is £2 for a lovely afternoon of – well – Knit
and Natter plus tea and biccies of course!
Shakespeare Sonnet Walk
Saturday April 20th
This year’s Shakespeare Sonnet Walk from
Westminster to The Globe Theatre will be held on Saturday April 20th. If
you have never been on one of these walks before, they are great fun.
Participants carry a long stemmed rose as
identification and at certain points along the way you are accosted by, often
strange, people, who will quote sonnets or other pieces of Shakespeare’s
writings to you. The walk takes a couple of hours at a leisurely pace. . All tickets for this
event have now been sold, but please contact Angie if you are interested in
joining the waiting list.

Away day in Horsham!
Friday 26th April
Let’s flourish our bus passes and pop on the
Metro bus to Horsham! There we can have a good old mooch round the shops,
including a number of excellent charity shops,
and then regain our energy with coffee and cake followed by a lunch for those
who wish to stay for that as well. Full timing and bus details will be sent
round nearer the time but, meanwhile, if you are interested, please contact
Jessica, Princess of Pebbly Beach, so she has an idea of numbers
