Thank you to Alan for the photo above taken last Saturday on his walk to the summit of Stanage Edge on our Hathersage Hostel Weekend. We've had amazing feedback from the weekend. Special thanks to Karen for hosting and to all of you that contributed to making it such a success. If you love our hostel weekends, you'll be glad to know that we still have places available on the Kettlewell Scarecrow Weekend in August. We're hoping to arrange some more weekends too, so keep looking!

With the cost of practically everything increasing recently, we know that some people are struggling to get out as much as they'd like. We're grateful to you for staying with us, so in 2022 we introduced the Spice Rewards scheme giving each of our members £100 worth of event vouchers spread across each year of membership, allowing you to attend events at reduced cost, or even free. This year we will additionally offer at least twenty completely free events across Yorkshire, in addition to our regular pub meets and Spice Social nights, to give our loyal members even more opportunities to get out with us, without affecting your wallet. In 2023, Spice membership is even better value than ever!

This time last year we were just getting used to getting out and about and socialising again, so we were keen to make 2022 a year to remember, packed with Spice fun!
