On Tuesday 25th April 14 members of Probus ventured south in two minibuses towards Brighton. Both buses hit traffic jams but we still arrived in good time for a pre-theatre bite to eat. Pinnochio Italian and a Tapas restaurant next door to the Theatre were both providers of fine fayre and the performance from the Ukraine National Opera started on time at 19.45. Despite being in the second circle the view was good and the traditional set was a fine backdrop for the splendid singers. The performance ended with us all standing for an emotional rendition of the Ukraine national anthem. We were back in Crowborough for about 11 o’clock after a really enjoyable evening.
The next organised outing is the trip to Greenwich and the Blue Badge guided walk on Thursday 11th May. Please click here to see details of this and the full Calendar of Events.
