At last a sport that I was destined to compete in – volleyball.  Whilst I don’t have the most amazing flexibility, I certainly have the height to take on this fast paced sport.  It is surprisingly hard to serve overarm and not hit the net or send the ball into the changing rooms, but I guess that with practice it becomes easier.  Volleyball first appeared in the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games but the roots of the sport date back to the 1890s. Cuba dominated the womens sport for some eight years, winning three Olympic gold medals between 1992 and 2000.  The venue for this year’s event is Earl’s Court and 12 teams in total are represented.

With The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations just around the corner, the whole team at Flemings are getting extremely excited about the festivities.

We caught up with Flemings’ Guest Services Director Branca Sabbagh, to find out why she is especially excited about the upcoming event.

Are you excited for the Diamond Jubilee?

This is a very exciting time for me. I was born in December 1951 and Christened in1952 around the Queen’s Coronation. For me this is memorable as my whole existence is as long as Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. I remember celebrating with a street party in 1977 but 2012 will be bigger and better, I can’t wait.

How will you celebrate the event?

I am looking forward to the lobby party in the hotel where we will celebrate with our guests and I will also have personal celebrations with family and friends over the Diamond Jubilee weekend, for my sixty years of amazing life.

Will the hotel be offering its guests anything special over the period?

We will be celebrating in style with the Flemings take on the Diamond Jubilee street party. All our guests, both in-house, and local residents are welcome. We will be serving fish and chips, cakes, and canapés in our lobby. Come and join us!

So, if you are looking for a place to celebrate over the Diamond Jubilee bank holidays then make sure you take a look at our website for some great deals, and keep checking back here on The Insider  for more ways to celebrate this summer.

If you’re a Roald Dahl fan then you’re in for a treat. The much-loved children’s book Matilda has been transformed into a multi award-winning musical for London’s West End.

This new show written by Dennis Kelly and musician and comedian Tim Minchin, really brings the story of this extraordinary little girl to life. Scooping up seven 2012 Olivier Awards, more than any show has ever won before including Best New Musical makes it a sure bet for some great entertainment.

You can watch the show at the Cambridge Theatre up until the 21^st of October,  perfect for a half term or summer treat for all the family.  

If this sounds like fun to you then why not combine a trip to the theatre with some sightseeing and stay in an ideal central location. You can book tickets and find out more about the show here.
