A Week with Wodehouse
| The
Society's tour ran from 8th-15th July 2007 and was deemed
a success by the organisers and by all those who went on
it. "What a Week that was! When's the next?" SSG "I just wanted to thank everyone for making my first trip out of the USA a wonderful glorious event! I had a wonderful time and look forward to heading back to the UK again soon." SC "I met so many nice people and had such a wonderful time that I am, I have to say, feeling rather low and deflated today - but I have some superbly happy memories." AP
It took in a tour of Wodehouse's London, Lord's cricket ground, Guildford, Dulwich, Emsworth, sites that inspired Blandings in Shropshire, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire, dinner in London and even more.
