GLYNDEBOURNE CHRISTMAS CONCERT
2025-12-12 15:00 - 22:30 (Europe/London) | Glyndebourne, Lewes, East Sussex, BN8 5UU, United Kingdom
To All TSCC Members

Dear All

We have reserved a block of tickets for a Christmas concert at the world-famous Glyndebourne opera house at 3.00pm on Friday 12th December. The tickets are in the upper circle and the cost is £25.50. There is lift access from the ground floor to the upper circle.

We plan to arrange a pre-concert festive lunch at a nearby pub.

This is the first such concert organised by Glyndebourne and it promises to be a very special event. Featuring the Glyndebourne Chorus and Synfonia, the concert will include opera highlights, popular orchestral showpieces and singalong carols that will enable us to exercise our lungs and work off our festive lunch.

We do hope you will be joining us and, if so, we need your confirmation and payment no later than Friday 23rd May. Depending on your start point, the journey time is around 1 hour 15 minutes. If you would like to join us but need transport, please let me know asap so we can see what can be arranged.

We will provide details of the pub lunch a little nearer to the time.

We look forward to hearing from you and to ending the year with a truly festive get-together.

With best regards

Mark

Dear All

We are delighted at the very positive response to our proposed Finale Norfolk Broads Cruise.

I confirm the dates will be Friday 11th – Friday 18th September 2026.

We are delighted to announce that next year we will be going with a different boat hire company, Barnes Brinkcraft, based in Wroxham.

They offer very competitive pricing and, not only a range of Elite boats, but also a Mid- Range fleet, mostly former Elite craft. In addition, they offer No Frills boats for those seeking to minimise costs.

Please find attached a schedule of boats currently available and the price per head depending on the number sharing. Note: These prices include not only the boat hire but also three group meals and any necessary transportation.

If you have already indicated your interest and wish to confirm your participation, we now need a deposit of £180 per boat to secure your chosen craft. The balance is payable three months before departure.

Please transfer your deposit to the TSCC Treasurer in the normal way with the reference “Broads”. Please then let us know you have made the transfer and which boat you would like us to reserve.

If you have not yet registered your interest, we really do hope you will join us. If you are interested but would like to share a boat, let us know and we will see if there are others in the same situation.

And if your needs at not met by any of the craft listed on the schedule, again please let us know and we will see what alternatives may be available.

We do hope you will be joining us and we are already looking forward to another week of fantastic fun afloat.

With very best regards

Thursford Christmas Spectacular
2026-11-30 - 2026-12-01 | Premier Inn, Duke Street, Norwich, Norfolk NR3 3AP, Norwich, NR3 3AP
View Flyer: Thursford Christmas Getaway
Dear All

It is ten years since the Club last travelled to The Thursford Christmas Spectacular, an amazing festive show on a grand scale that has no equal this side of the Atlantic!

As you will see from the attached flyer, we are planning one more Club visit – this coming year at the end of November.

The plan is to travel using a comfortable, modern self-drive minibus which we will hire for the event. This will be driven by Club member Greg Beardsall who, as you may know, drives coaches professionally. This is the cheapest, comfortable group-transport solution we can currently find.

Minibus spaces are of course limited so it will be first come first served. Group tickets for the show go on sale on 6th January and we plan to book ours then.

As you will see, the price includes everything except a bite to eat at lunchtimes, and entrance to Santa’s Magical Journey if you wish to visit this additional festive Thursford attraction.

We do hope you will be joining us and look forward to hearing from you.

Wishing all members a happy, healthy 2026.

Best regards

Mark
