Fwd: May English Stammtisch

Subject: May English Stammtisch

 

Hi everyone! :-)

 

How are you? I hope you're all well and you're surviving the cold, windy, snowy, wintry weather we've been experiencing lately. Hopefully spring will be back with us again very soon! ;-)

 

Our Stammtisch in May, will be our first softball game for this year! J

 

As the first Thursday in May is a bank holiday, I decided to postpone our meet-up by one week and have it in the second week of May. I hope plenty of you will be able to come along. The details of our May Stammtisch, are as follows:

 

Date:             Thursday 12th May

 

Time:             Softball game: from 6:30pm till approximately 8pm. Then those playing/watching the game, will go on to the restaurant to join the others there who won't be playing/watching the game. The players will be able to walk to this restaurant together from the game grounds. It's not far away at all! ;-)

 

Restaurant: tables will be booked from 7pm onwards for those who don't wish to watch/play the softball game.

 

Where:         Softball game:   Friedrichsau Park, Ulm

 

Location is the same as where we always previously played in the past. We play in the   field close to the Festplatz (where the Volksfest, Französichedorf is, etc). There is also a lake nearby as well. For those who don't know exactly where we meet – check out this location below on Google Maps, and/or call me on my mobile if you get lost – 0171 385 1275.

Google maps location for the game: (It's the point on the map with no number of Friedrichsau). Click here:

                      Restaurant:                Pizza-Blitz Express

                      Address:                      Wielandstrasse 69

89073 Ulm

                      Phone:                         07312060434

 

Please note:

• If you wish to attend the softball game, don't worry if you can't make it as early as 6:30pm, it's still possible to join in if you arrive late. The same thing applies for the meal at the restaurant. If you can't make 7pm, don't worry. Just arrive when you can.
• Please let me know if you'd like to take part in the softball game or not, when you reply to me. I just need to know how many people are planning on coming for the numbers (– we need at least 20 people to play a proper game).
• It is very important if you want to bring any extra people along with you, that you let me know for this restaurant venue please. I must know for the tables and chairs! Many thanks.

This is the first time I'm going to this restaurant with the Stammtisch group. I have been before myself though! I tested this restaurant out a little while ago. I went to check out the size of the place and to make sure there will be enough room for everyone! I also found out that the pizza is very good, and the staff are friendly too. Hence why I decided to make a booking for us there and then. ;-)

I hope to see plenty of you there!

 

Thanks everyone.

 

Take care and enjoy the rest of your week and weekend! :-)

 

All my very best,

Sarah

Hi all, J

 

How are you? I hope you're all well.

 

Happy Easter to you! J I hope you've all been having a lovely long weekend, and a nice break off work.

 

My father and his partner have been staying with us for the last week, so I kind of lost track of time in terms of sending out these emails… I'm so sorry about that. ;-)

 

My father and his partner will be coming with me to the Stammtisch this time, so hopefully plenty of you can make it, as then you'll be able to meet two more native British speakers. ;)

 

George (the softball coach) and I, were thinking about already starting with softball in April. However, I'm not so sure the weather will be quite right for it yet. Therefore, I think it will be best if we start in May instead.

 

Here are the details of our Stammtisch for April:

 

 

Date:                   Friday 1st April 2016

 

Time:                  From 7pm onwards

 

Place:                 Ratskeller Restaurant, Ulm

 

Address:            Marktplatz 1, 89073 Ulm

 

Website:             http://www.ratskeller-ulm.de/

 

Telephone:         0731 880174-0

 

 

I hope to see you there! I'm looking forward to it.

 

N.B.: If you still receive these emails from me, but no longer wish to receive them – please do just let me know. Then I will remove you from the emailing list, so that you won't be bothered by my monthly emails anymore. ;-)

 

Take care and enjoy the rest of the long weekend!

 

All my very best,

Sarah

Hi all, J

 

I hope you're all well. I moved house last Saturday, plus I had a huge amount of work on top of that what with my university students having their exams. That is the reason why I have sent the Stammtisch emails out so late. I'm so sorry about that, but I was just way too busy and also too stressed. I also had no internet in the new flat until the day before yesterday, which made things even harder. The Stammtisch will be the second Thursday in the month, instead of the first Thursday, as I will be extremely busy with marking exams this coming week.

 

So here are the details of our next Stammtisch:

 

 

Date:                 Thursday 11th February 2016

 

Time:                 From 7pm onwards

 

Place:                Keio Gourmet, Neu-Ulm

 

Address:           Nelsonallee 12, 89231 Neu-Ulm

 

Website:           http://webseite.keiogourmet.de/

                    http://keio-gourmet.de/03-menu.html

 

Telephone:       0731 94586988

 

I hope to see plenty of you there!  We've been to this restaurant twice before, and the food is very good. I'm really looking forward to it! Please let me know if you'd like to being anyone extra with you as always, just so that we can ensure we'll have enough chairs and table space for everyone. Thanks a lot!

 

Take care and enjoy the rest of the weekend!

 

All my very best,

Hi all, J

 

How are you all?! I hope you're well, and you had a lovely time celebrating over Christmas and New Year's Eve. Hopefully you all had a lovely, enjoyable and relaxing break. I had a wonderful time over Christmas in Wales, and then celebrated New Year's Eve here in Germany with Raclette – in true German style. ;-) Hopefully I'll see some of you very soon, and then I'll be able to hear how you all celebrated and started off your new year.

 

I'd like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy, healthy, prosperous, peaceful, successful, joyful, loving and simply wonderful New Year for 2016! J I wish you all things positive, and hope that this year will be all you hoped for, and more! J

I thought perhaps some people may be away. Therefore I have put it back one week.
