Morning Kids!

Lots of Bermuda events coming up so let’s just get right down to it!

 

Dancing is a great way to meet new people and get some exercise but if you’ve been a little nervous about signing up for a whole course, here’s a great opportunity to have a little taster.  Sabor Dance School are offering an evening of free introductory classes at the Berkeley Cultural Centre on Friday, September 28th.

My hair looks mental most of the time anyway but P.A.L.S. are asking us to have crazy hair for a good cause on Friday, September 28th for their first ever P.A.L.S. Mad Hair Day.   P.A.L.S. is a registered charity which provides professional hands-on care and support to cancer patients primarily in their own homes and they ask that you round up your friends, family and co-workers to donate $5 to wear their hair in a mad or crazy way for the day. Suggestions include wigs, funny hats and scarves, crazy hair creations or designs, big ribbons, headbands or clips in your hair, big ties and funky glasses or your own hair in a funky style.  To participate, register your company or group by contacting  Lynette Waldron or Carolyn Arnold at 236-7257 or pals@northrock.bm.

This event is for over-18s only and, in addition to a variety of beers (including genuine Oktoberfest beers) to sample, festival-goers will also enjoy authentic German pub music while eating brats with sauerkraut (I’m assuming they mean the traditional sausage and not naughty pupils), authentic German pretzels, spaetzle and schnitzel. If you’ve been looking for an excuse to wear your lederhosen, here’s your chance as there will be a contest for the most authentically dressed man and woman. Tickets are $50 which includes unlimited beer and Bavarian food tasting. Tickets are also available for beer or food tasting only at a cost of $30 and $20, respectively. Tickets are available for online at www.bhs.bm or by calling 278-3004. All proceeds will go to the BHS Charitable Trust.

Bermuda’s own world champion, Teresa Perozzi, will be taking a big gamble that we’ll all be hoping will pay off for her on Saturday, October 13th.  Teresa will be putting her WBA World Middleweight Title on the line and also vying for the WBC World Middleweight Title to become the undisputed Women’s Middleweight Champion of the World. Teresa will battle undefeated American Tori Nelson and will get All the titles if she wins and Nothing if she loses.  All or Nothing: WBC & WBA World Middleweight Championship will be in the Poinciana Room at the Fairmont Southampton and promises 10 international boxing and kick-boxing bouts. The undercard will feature Bolivia’s Jennifer “The Bolivian Queen” Salinas against USA’s Karen Dulin, Bermuda’s Sentwali Woolridge against Canada’s Daniel Kechego plus many other Bermudians battling international stars. Doors open at 7pm and the first bout is at 8pm.  Tickets cost $65 for general admission or $95 for ringside and are available The International Sports Shop or Gorham’s or online at www.ptix.bm.

The next event from the Caledonian Society of Bermuda will be a cinema screening at BUEI on Sunday, October 14th. The chosen film is the 1983 classic, Local Hero, a comedy-drama, directed by Bill Forsyth and starring Burt Lancaster and Peter Riegert.  As if the film itself isn’t enough of a draw, Harbourfront are offering a 15% discount on the regular menu to any filmgoers who dine there afterwards. To avail of this offer, reserve your table directly with Harbourfront on 295-4207, mention at the time of booking that you are attending the Caledonian Society film screening and take a copy of your movie ticket with you on the night.  Doors open at 5.30pm and the movie will start at 6pm. The running time of the film is around an hour and 40 minutes so they would recommend making your dinner reservations at 8pm or later.  Tickets are $15 and are available from www.ptix.bm.  For more details, see www.caledoniansocietyofbermuda.com.

Opera lovers, you’re in for a treat as Bermuda National Gallery, in collaboration with Bacardi, present The Art of Music on Saturday, October 20th.  This will be on the lawn at Barcardi Limited from 7pm until 10pm and will feature Laura Aikin, world-renowned American Soprano.  Tickets prices vary, depending on your level of support.  Friend tickets cost $100, Fellow tickets cost $500 and Patron tickets cost $1000 and all are available from  www.bdatix.com.  For more information, contact Lisa Howie at director@bng.bm or 295-9428.
