*The times shown may change, depending on DST settings
City/Town: Adliswil (Zurich)
Event Type: Dinner
Meeting Point: Pot Belly's, Soodring 21
Come one, come all to the first Sunday Roast of 2012!!

The doors open at 15.00 for us and the buffet will start between 15.30 and 16.00. It will be all-you-can-eat until it is gone or until around 19.00 (whichever comes first). The bar will stay open (with pool included in the cost) until around 21.00.

Menu:
Two Roast Meats (most likely pork and beef)
Roast Potatoes
Mashed Potatoes
Fresh Steamed Veggies
Homemade Yorkshire Puddings
Gravy
Homemade Applesauce
Homemade Horseradish sauce
Dessert: Apple Pie and Custard (or similar)

Drinks are *not* included

Price: 49.50CHF if paid in advance by Thursday 16.February.2012 (to me) and by Saturday if paid to the venue
59.90CHF if paid at the door

Kids 12 and under: 25CHF---the venue also has a little play area for them

Location:
Pot Belly's
Soodring 21
8134 Adliswil
http://www.potbellys.ch/

It is a short 14 minute ride on the S4 from the Zurich main station (you do need a zone extension). Trains run every 20 minutes off track 1, and Pot Belly's is literally above the Sood-Oberleimbach stop. There is some parking available nearby as well.

You can pay me directly, through an IBAN deposit or through "cash" in the mail, both of which require PM exchanges (easy). Or you can go to Pot Belly's and pay in person (also easy if you live nearby). If you decide the latter, please let them know you are from the EF. And either way, please let me know by indicating your method of paying in YOUR RSVP so that we have separated who pays directly to the restaurant and who pays directly to me... Logistically, you all don't care about this but it matter to us organizers, so please help me out by doing this.

Remember, ALL are welcome!!

Any questions, let me know. Looking forward to it!

Re: "Proper" Sunday Roast 2012, Part 1
Happy Monday everyone! Pay-day is around the corner, so this is just a friendly reminder to "budget" in the roast next month. And I will be sending the first IBAN pm early next week.

Sorry JLF, my brother is defending his doctoral thesis on the 20th, so I will most definitely be down in Italy on the 19!

Sad to miss the great company and the noms!!!!!

Re: "Proper" Sunday Roast 2012, Part 1
Hey all-
Sorry for not sending out IBAN info yet. I was hoping numbers would increase... If we don't have at least 25 participants, this event is not worth the time/investment of the restaurant.

I will wait a couple more days before starting to collect money (it is less than two weeks away now). This will give me time to decide whether the event will be on or whether we will need to cancel. This will also give "you" time to decide if you would like to join us.

Bring some friends and come on out. All us "yes's" hope you will.

Re: "Proper" Sunday Roast 2012, Part 1
Come on folks! This a fab and very well organised event. We wouldn't hire a car and travel from Basel if it wasn't.

I'll see if I can round up two extra from Basel......we have space in the car if people want a lift?

Decision on whether or not to cancel will be made on Saturday or (latest) Sunday. If you are even remotely interested in coming, please indicate it by then. If the numbers stay the same, we will cancel.

Re: "Proper" Sunday Roast 2012, Part 1
The meal is well worth it! Everything is done from fresh including horseradish sauce and apple pie. Plenty to eat and we had like 3 helpings last time! Can't move or need any food for next 2 days. Plus the company is excellent, so really worth going with very loose clothing!

Would hate to see this event not happening because of number this time. I missed the last one already!

Don't do that, just charge the extra 495 CHF to mirfield's credit card (I'll PM you the number )

Re: "Proper" Sunday Roast 2012, Part 1
A little bump for our friend and excellent organizer JLF.

Guys, if you are in town, this event is a "MUST GO" - food is delicious, plenty, and always coming in multiple rounds.

The venue, what can I say? Pool, darts, friendly owner and staff, comfortable inside and outside (well, more inside now, with this cold!). Plus, you get off the train in Sood Oberleimbach, take a ramp of stairs up (or the elevator, if you're lazy me) and you have arrived. That's right! Super convenient.

What better way to beat this awful weather than to have a warm and cozy meal with excellent company at a great place?

And let's not forget the drinks...plenty, large selection, delicious.

If I was not on "family duty" out of the country, you can bet I'd be there!

Oh, and by the way: if you are new to Zurich/Switzerland/EF, and/or you've never gone to an EF event before, this is the perfect event to attend. Why?

If you're shy, it's not a crowded bar full of strangers (not that this would be bad anyway), so it gives you a chance to meet a few new people in a relaxed setting, without pressure, and you can actually talk to the people.

If you are hesitant about going to events because you have kids in tow, this is the perfect event once again, for the above reasons, and also because it's extremely kid-friendly - I know that at least one EF member brings her (adorable) kid along.

If you are none of the above, it's still the perfect event to attend!
