Sunday Brunch Club Update
8 February 2008

Back to SBC Update list 

Hello!

Aren't Fridays fabulous - such exciting days. Here we are on the cusp of another wonderful weekend. Do join us on Saturday for rugby excitement at The Living Room at 1.30pm and for our Weekender Free & Easy at Picardy Place from 7pm. It's a great way to find out more about the club and have a fabulous time while you're out. As though that isn't tempting enough there will be complimentary nibbles too (plus a complimentary drink for members or people joining on Saturday). On Sunday embrace the great outdoors with a beautiful and bracing walk in The Borders led by our intrepid outdoor adventurer Robin. If you fancy getting jazzy on Sunday see Salsa Celtica and Fionna Duncan this weekend at the Fife Jazz Festival.

Spaces for our Love Sundays, Big Buffet Brunch are going fast so do book ahead. Our French hot tub holi... I mean ski holiday in March is now fully booked. I've taken to the slopes at Hillend in preparation and must say our rollerblading sessions last year stood me in good stead for skiing. Staying upright on skis is a doodle. We're planning more blading next month so do look out for it.

Coming up...

6 Nations Rugby - Wales v Scotland - Saturday 9 February - 1.30 for 2pm kick off

Join us to watch the boys in action. After all the World Cup excitement even I've become a rugby fan (OK meeting the huge and very obliging New Zealand captain helped as well!). The Living Room is erecting a big screen for our viewing pleasure. And there's a free drink on arrival (wine, beer or a  soft drink) and some nibbles. If you fancy lunch beforehand The Living Room is doing a special 6 nations menu with options such as steak pie, fish and chips and classic burger all done in delicious Living Room style. I will be there from 1.30pm for a bite to eat first, do join me then. There will be offers on beer too. What more could you need?

Sunday Brunch Club Ski Holiday 2008
1-8 March, Les Gets
Hit the slopes and the hot tub!
Have a seriously good time...
We have a fabulous ski trip organised in France, with a great chalet (and hot tub!) in a highly rated ski resort. The trip is suitable for beginners as well as experienced skiiers.  Our chalet is in its own grounds and has a large hot tub (have I mentioned that?!) with built in lighting and sound system for a more luxurious feel. The fireside lounge is perfect for relating ski antics by the log fire before soothing those aching muscles in the hot tub with chilled glass of wine.  I'm equally as excited about the hot tub as the skiing!

The week that was...

Last week's Thank Goodness it's Friday drinks at Harry's Bar was fabulous with 48 people attending. It ended up being a late night. I just can't resist the lure of 70s disco music. I have to admit it - I love cheese! We're back at Harry's on Sunday 17 February for the first of our Love Sundays Big Buffet Brunches with lots of fun and games. Do book ahead to ensure your place.

Chinese New YearChinese New Year 2008 was good I understand and followed up with dinner at La Favorita. 

As always, we have tennis and 5aside every week. If you fancy playing just drop me a line.


Have a lovely weekend.

See you on Saturday!

Best wishes
Stephanie
