Morning Ladies and Gents!

Hopefully, you have all survived Rafael unscathed!  Does it seem to you like all the 2012 hurricanes are just playing with us so far? Let’s not complain about that though, as it sure beats the alternative! Although it would be kind of nice if just one would give us a day off work – what’s with all the weekends and evenings, Mother Nature? Anyway, here’s what’s coming up in Bermuda:

Think there would be a large amount of interest in a Conversational Portuguese class at Bermuda College?  Vasco Da Gama, the Portuguese culture club, think so and would like your support!  A representative will be at Vasco Da Gama Club at 51 Reid Street tonight from 8pm and many different topics will be addressed.  The meeting is open to everyone.  For more information, contact 292-7196 or vasco@logic.bm.

Morning Troops!

We’re lucky enough to still have blue skies for the most part so far this month.  It is getting very close to that inbetween time of year that makes it really difficult to choose what to wear in the morning though.  I’m already painfully slow in the mornings so anything that requires brain power before I’ve had my first caffeine of the day can be quite disastrous – good thing that there are lots of Bermuda events coming up to distract me:

Schools To Know invite you to their International Boarding Schools Fair  Featuring Schools That Offer Additional Academic Support on Wednesday, October 10th and Thursday, October 11th. Over thirty well-known and respected boarding schools are coming to the Fairmont Hamilton Princess to share their programme information with you. Between 4.30pm and 7.30pm on each evening, you can learn what these schools have to offer and representatives will give you details on their programmes, facilities and financial aid opportunities. There will also be a parent workshop on Innovations in Learning: Research into Practice, led by Helen Waldron, Learning Specialist from The Forman School from 4.30pm until 5.30pm.  This event is free with no registration required.  For more information, contact tory@schoolstoknow.com or see http://schoolstoknow.com/.

Hi Kids!

Hurray for October, probably the best month of the year! Oktoberfest, Halloween and, most importantly, my birthday to look forward to – what’s not to like?! Here is some of what’s going on in Bermuda this month:

There are still a few days of the largest Oktoberfest celebration on the island at Swizzle Inn, Bailey’s Bay as they will be finishing up on Sunday, October 7th.  The Beer Tent with authentic Oktoberfest tables, benches and music is already set up and Swizzle Inn have exclusively imported Oktoberfest Draft Beer, direct from Munich, as well as bottles of Weisse, dark and pilsner beer from Munich, schnapps and German wines.  For soakage, Bavarian chef Edi Guntl has prepared a full Oktoberfest menu, including schnitzels, sausages, sauerbraten, dumplings, goulash, strudel and more authentic German delights.  Groups of 8 or more who book in advance will get Beer tent seating, special pricing and Oktoberfest party favours.  For bookings, contact Carolyn at 293-1854 or info@swizzleinn.com.
