(Sheffield) Zooby's lunch time meet

58 replies

Hulababy · 21/09/2004 21:48

As the new term is upon us I thought it was time we should try and ressurect the Zooby's fan club!

I am still working same days so can do Monday or Fridays. We used to do Fridays before if that is still best for everyone.

For new comers:

Zoobys is the little coffe/sandwich bar in the corner of the Winter Gardens. It sells yummy sandwiches. I adore the humous and roasted veg one. And lovely coffee. DD (age 2) loves the children's banana sandwich too.

Winter gardens has plenty of room for little ones to have a wander and a bit of a play. If really nice weather we can always dispatch to Peace Gardens round corner for picnic on the grass.

Used to do lunch times - what time was it? 12:15 or 13:30 ish???

I know Wedgiesmum is no longer working in Sheffield so probably can't make these any more - sure we can manage some other meets as well though, yes? And although Maisiestar isn't online so much now I have her contact number so can invite her and her DS along as well.

So when and who???

These are dates I can do:

Mon 27th Sept
Fri 1st Oct
Mon 4th Oct
Fri 15th Oct
Mon 18th Oct

Then on holiday as half term.

I may be able to do Fri 22 Oct if an earlish meet. have a wedding that afternoon and evening.

Main entrance? So - when you get off train, go up (there's lifts) to bridge/gangway and go towards Exit (NOT towards the tram exit) and then down lift again. I'll meet you in that area there - there's a shop, ticket office, couple of cafes, etc. Hope that's okay

I'm meeting up with WM (hopefully still) the following day - so I can tell her how lovely it all was [wink}

Whole place needs a good wash, dus and clean. Mind you, not all bad, DH is coming home at lunch and we are going to got o Revolution downstairs for a bite to eat.

Thanks for offer, but sadly I doubt I will be able to make it. DH is coming home early today and collecting DD on way. Just have so much to do - house work and school work. Once I have had this suppa I must get going on it!

We will get something arranged soon though, I really hope so!

no one even missed me!! could have stayed all pm doubt anyone would have noticed, thats the advantage of being based in two departments.

Was lovely to meet you both and your DD's and DS. Will have to try and bring DD next time but fridays are nursery day for us

dottee · 01/10/2004 22:11

Glad you guys had a great time. I was thinking about you. Sorry I couldn't come but I had my mum over and we ended up tramping round Parkgate, Rotherham. Sorry I've not been on for a while (and I do owe e-mails). Will try and do better!!!

It's been a manic week Hula.

I'm a Gov. at DD's school and we've been finding a new HT. Glad to say we were successful yesterday. (I was on the interviewing panel.)

Wow! Impressive role then. I always wondered what it was like on the other side of the table; whether it is any where near as nerve wracking.
