Have you had a look at Sheffield Cathedral? They do really nice Christmas parties and it's somewhere traditional yet quirky at the same time. There are more details on their website under conferencing & hospitality: http://www.sheffieldcathedral.org/

Just thought I'd put this link in for you Rachael. You can download the Christmas brochure on this page and make a provisional booking.

How about Polar Express, that's a good one, or maybe Home Alone?

"The (Shrewsbury) Chapel remained a Roman Catholic chapel in an Anglican setting until 1933, when it was presented to the Cathedral by the Duke of Norfolk for ‘the use of the parishioners’." Is it not bad manners to ask for a present back?

I'm thinking that a lot of people don't know that you have a bar and that it is ok to drink (responsibly, of course) in the Cathedral. I know I didn't know until I looked through the brochure!

Yes it was fab! The food was lovely by the way and we will definitely be booking our company Christmas party at the Cathedral. Nice Buck Fizz too!

Thanks for that. Niri has been involved a bit, so I'll give him a call and have another chat with him. I'm not so hot on cold calling, so the idea of a letter first sounds good to me.

I am helping to set up a new BNI group in South West Sheffield and wondered if anyone could give me a bit of advice on how to find people who may be interested in joining. I am loathed to cold call people I don't know and I'm sure there are people out there who want to join but couldn't because their category was already taken in an existing group. If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear from them. Thanks

I'm sure they would, if you asked them to. But I'm pretty sure you would have to commit to paying the rest of the year's fees...like the parents from Brantwood will have to.

Monkey Bizness at Meadowhall (Centertainment) is fab...but get there early or it gets unbearably busy

Sorry, I don't think I should really say that on here. Not because I think there's a privacy issue, but because, apart from this one problem, the school is fantastic and I wouldn't want to tarnish its reputation for other people thinking of sending their kids there.

Problem sorted! I have just been to parents evening and the teacher has told me that the little girl who was causing the problem is now coping better with her home life (problems at home) and is not causing trouble. However, I did not point out to her that the day it all stopped was the day I finally lost my rag and told my daughter that, in this instance, she should give her a good punch back in self defense, but if I heard of her ever hitting again, there would be trouble. She took this on board very well and gave her a short sharp smack back when she hit her....problem, apparently, solved....hoooray for diplomacy. The child is no longer hitting anyone at the school. My heart really goes out to this child though and I feel sorry for her Mum, who is really, really nice.

Dance Scene on Ecclesall Road and I believe there is a place at Woodseats, but don't know what it's called.
