Christmas at Runnymede Christmas at Runnymede The following day, a trip to Windsor Castle takes us on a private ‘behind the scenes’ tour of the Great Kitchen and State Apartments. The Great Kitchen has remained in constant use for nearly 750 years and during our visit we will see this and parts of the Castle not included in public tours. In the afternoon we have a recital by the Quadrifidus String Quartet, a circle of highly regarded orchestral and chamber musicians, playing classical music to suit all tastes. The concert starts with Smetana’s String Quartet No.1 ‘From my Life’. After the interval the programme includes popular pieces from Louiguy, Leroy Anderson, Gounod, Frank Bridge, Pachabel, Cole Porter and Gershwin On the last morning we are pleased present our guest speaker Doug Parker, a comedian from the Midlands. Doug was the warm up artist for the Michael Parkinson Show for many years. He is a very funny man who tells respectable jokes enjoyed by everyone, even people who don’t normally like comedians and he has gained a reputation as a first class speaker. This morning his talk reveals his amusing view of life itself. If you have a sense of humour then you will enjoy listening to Doug who can say things to make you chuckle on just about every topic.
