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


McAllister and Lord Emsworth (aka Robert Bruce and Norman Murphy, or is it the other way round?)


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.
