OCTOBER local events:
3rd Oct 20:00 - Fri night socials at The Irishman, 2nd floor
2nd Oct - BATS stage productions/pantomimes
(usually puts on amateur theater in January every year) Note: they're loads of fun, you get to participate usually at panto's & yell back at the actors on the stage?! In PLC they put on Cinderfella--you can guess...also I think I've heard from at least one Brit that there's some role reversal going on as well--this one for sure, he wore the gown & she the pantalones?!
?? Yoga/Pilates with Zigi Houston (Note: it's a name, nothing to do with Texas & by the way, there are lots of Yoga/Pilates classes going on in Stavanger)
14th Oct, 9:30 AM - Health care system Norway morning seminar
16th Oct 18 - 21:00 & 22nd Oct 18 - 21:00 & 28th Oct 18 - 21:00
Driving on Slippery surfaces roadtrack seminar
(course is held outside of town) Note: but am wondering more about driving on snowy sufaces or ones at an incline that you have to shift by holding onto the emergency brake at the same time?! now there's a scary feeling...
19th Oct, meet 11:00 - Utstein Monastery & Lighthouse
Note: missed it, but was interested - see more about it on earlier posting
21st Oct - Greenhouse Randaberg, locally grown herbs morning seminar
25th Oct - Ceilidh@Bethe Lokkeveien 59 6 - 9:00 PM
(music by the Jurassic Ceilidh band, calling by Christine Kemp)
Note: I've read this is basically a square dance & you pronounce it
as a "Cay lee" - so much for my Scottish Celtic roots?!
28th Oct 9:30 - Tine, largest dairy producer, morning seminar
Note: I've just recently found out the word for cream "flote" & there's one for "kaffe" so I was all set?! Then there's the word for milk & butter & so on & on this viscious language circle goes...
31st Oct 20:00 - Halloween party
Note: will be curious who comes to the door, do the dress up really out on the streets at the clubs & will I hear Trick-or-Treat or something else at the door...
31st Oct/1st Nov - First Friday & Saturday in November -
PWC Arts & Crafts Show
(It's a HUGE deal--see their webpage: http://www.pwc-stavanger.no/ )
Note: what was I thinking, have signed up to bake a cake (hear, thankfully, I can buy one) & help serve at the coffee/cake booth--one must have a break from shopping right?! I think so...

NOVEMBER local events:
1st Nov - Bonfire night (British Int'l School) at Vaulen Beach (Brit celebration of - Guy Fawkes Night? - commemoration of the downfall of the famous Gunpowder Plot, an attempt to blow-up the Houses of Parlaiment & they've burned Guy Fawkes stand-in's every since I've been told by at least one Brit...
or it's an excuse to have a bonfire and shoot off some fireworks to boot at the beach--YeeHah!)
4th Nov 19:00, Evening Seminar - Education in Stavanger & Sandnes (3 speakers - maybe I could go back for more classes, why not, just if they're in English or not is my question? hmmm...)
7th Nov 20:00 - Fri night social, The Irishman, 2nd floor
Note: I think the Google group & the Yahoo group get together here too - as in the Living in Stavanger & the Expats in Stavanger...I'm not a pub person, but did think I could meet up with at least one person in the group eh?! Hah!
20th Nov 19:00 - evening, invitation to winter sports Norway
(ski trails, traditional winter sports)
Note: there's places called 'hytte' or houses/ cabins/cottages in the mountains of Norway to rent or own--now that's what I want to find out about...me, by the fireside, looking out the window is more like it?!
25th Nov 9:30 - Visit to the library, presentation by Mgr of Stavanger Library
(Note: found bookshop basement full of English books, this month on sale, so may not 'have' to go visit the library--but who knows in the winter months...)
