Subject: October Stammtisch (and an update on the one in September).
Hi everyone! :)
How are you all? I hope you're all well and you've all had a great summer!
Firstly, a warm welcome to all you new people who have expressed an interest in joining our Stammtisch! It will be great to have extra people added to the group! The more the merrier!! ;)
(I received the new members e-mail adresses from Dawn Wässle, just incase any of you are wandering how I knew who to write to! She said you all wanted to receive the info about the next meet ups, so here we are!...)
I hope this e-mail finds all of you well.
Secondly, an appology to you (especially the members who were on the list before the new ones and also to Dawn)...
...I am so sorry I didn't send this e-mail to all of you earlier. However, we were away from Friday 1st October until last night - (Monday 18th).
I also wanted to e-amil you all before I went on holiday, to inform you that I would not be arranging an October Stammtisch for the 1st Thursday in the month.
However, I had a lot more things to sort out as usal, as I was involved in an accident and had a lot to arrange due to that. Still, I have kind of recovered now, so thats OK.
Thirdly, I just wanted to mention September's Stammtisch. I'm not really sure what went wrong, but...about 7 people who said they would come along, didn't turn up! I was very confused about it. I'm not sure if it was just because people couldn't find us, or changed their minds in the end and didn't come, or what it was?! I got there at 18:45h, ready for the 19:00h starting time. No-one arrived with me, until 19:30h! That person who arrived then, was a friend of mine, who I knew outside the Stammtisch group and decided to tag along. The other people who arrived after that, were also other private friends/students of mine, and not those who had replied to say they'd come. I was feeling kind of disappointed about that, as the August Stammtisch also turned out to be a small group. (Around 7 or so.) However, maybe that was because people were still away for both of those Stammtisch meetings that I organised. I'm not sure.
I very much hope the next one I organise will be more successful and I will keep at it!! ;)
I am of course still hoping to arrange my Stammtisch meet-up for November and will be contacting you all again about the details for that, at a later date. (But it will be on the 1st Thursday in November as normal, no doubt.)
Thanks.
Kind Regards and Best Wishes,
Sarah Jane Lees.
