City/Town: Sood-Oberleimbach-ZH
Event Type: Sports
Meeting Point: Potbelly's Pool, Sood-Oberleimbach

Hi Y'all,

Please let me know if you'd like to come to a pool night at Potbelly's in Sood-Oberleimbach (near Adliswil, Zurich) on Friday 12th September 2008.

It's just a friendly social for fun, so don't be put off if (like me) you're not such a good player, unless you want to team up with another pool shark.

Snooker tables are also available.
Food is quite good (see website) but will need to order ahead the numbers.

The place is open till 2am on Fridays and is a nice bright place (not a dark dank smokey pool hall like in the movies). It's less than 15 minutes from platform 1 at Zurich HB.

Cheers,
Higgy Baby

Re: Zurich Ex-Pats (and Swiss) Pool Night

Okay gang,

Here's the details:

Get S4 train from Zurich HB.
Sood Oberleimbach is the stop to get off (the stop is after Leimbach).
Cross the footbridge to the other side and before you go back down the steps, there is a stairway up to Potbellys' terrace.
I booked an area just in the left hand corner as you go in by the door.
I'll be there from 7. I'm wearing a cream sweater with 'higgins' written on the front. Just come and say hello and we get a group discount rate for the tables. 16 francs per table per hour instead of 22!

We'll be there past 9pm.
All welcome and the food is superb.
I have no connection with the place. I just found it a few weeks ago and was suitably impressed.
I'm rubbish at pool (till 2 or 3 beers)!
They also have snooker tables and dart boards plus a full bar.

Come along.

Cheers,
Higgy Baby

Re: Zurich Ex-Pats (and Swiss) Pool Night

There'll be a few in that age group that I'm with.
Of the others from this forum and others I don't know. Bring a few along. I think a few others are hovering around 30.

Drag a friend with you. Zurich's only 15 mins away anyhow.

The locals who go there are about that age group. How's your Zuri Deutsch? My friend Christian's just told me to encourage you to come along and meet him and his friends. He's 27. :-)

Cool. I might show up. I must admit that I wandered to the forum for Friday night activities because nobody I know feels like going out so dragging a +1 is not on the agenda!!

My Zuri Deutsch is pretty non-existant... I will work on it once I'm a little more comforatble here =)
