Friday Night Drinks Report # 42

FND Report # 42 ... our largest event ever!!

A very big thanks to all who turned up for last week's Friday Night Drinks at the Bachus Center in Ljubljana last Friday. We had a record-breaking turnout and a fine performance by the ICS Band! The venue worked out quite well and was just the right size for the evening, at least until the band stopped playing and the regular 'clubbers' came pouring in! Gerry has posted a Video of one of the evening's songs on Facebook for anyone who is interested to have a look.

We'd like to thank Dirk, Astrid, Donna and all the members of the band for putting on a great show for us, and we especially wish Dirk and Astrid all the best at their new locations.
Our new photographer, Ian Middleton, has posted some fantastic photos of the evening online (you can also find older FND photos on the FND Flicker site). Ian offers a new photography service in which people are portrayed in a more natural environment, rather than in the confines of a studio, and is available for all manner of portrait work and special events. See his website for more details.

We look forward to meeting everyone again next month. More details will be announced via email, the FND member website, and the blog. If you have any friends who would like to be informed about this and other future events, please pass the word along or send us their emails so we can add them to the mailing list.

Happy Halloween!

FND this Friday at Bachus!

We are happy to confirm our second Friday Night Drinks event for this month! We will be meeting this Friday, 23 October, at the Bachus Center in Ljubljana (Kongresni trg 3).

We'll have some free snacks for everyone, plus a live performance by the ICS band. A couple of our fellow FND friends will be leaving town soon, so this will be a great way to give them a happy sendoff and wish them well at their new destinations.

We look forward to seeing everyone at Bachus this Friday... be sure to mark the date on your calendar and pass the word along to any friends who might wish to join the fun!

Friday Night Drinks Report # 41

Thanks to all who turned up for Friday Night Drinks at the Hotel Slon Cafe in Ljubljana last Friday. We had a good turnout and a very enjoyable evening for our first event of the season, with a number of friendly new faces joining us. We've posted some fantastic photos of the evening online, thanks to our new photographer Ian Middleton (you can also find older FND photos on the FND Facebook group and the FND Flicker site). Ian offers a new photography service in which people are portrayed in a more natural environment, rather than in the confines of a studio, and is available for all manner of portrait work and special events. See his website for more details.

Special thanks also to Gerry Docherty of The Business Center and Kevin Morrison from Slovenia Relocations for sponsoring the free drinks at the start of last Friday's event. Gerry and Kevin are long-time supporters of FND and both offer outstanding services for expats.

We look forward to seeing everyone again for our second event this month on the 23rd of October, in which we'll have a live performance with the ICS band. More details will follow soon via email, Facebook, and the FND blog. If you have any friends who would like to be informed about this and other future events, please pass the word along or send us their emails so we can add them to the mailing list.

Friday Night Drinks Tonight at Slon Cafe

You may have noticed that we are starting the Friday Night Drinks season a bit late this year, so let's not waste any time! FND is now back to business as usual, starting with an impromptu event tonight at the Hotel Slon. We'll be meeting at the corner cafe of the Slon starting at 8pm - the entrance is directly adjacent to the city's main post office on Slovenska cesta.

We are also working on organizing a second event this month on the 23rd, which will include a live performance by the ICS band. We have a few fellow FNDers who will be leaving town very soon, so this would be a nice way to give them a big sendoff and wish them well at their new destinations.

We look forward to seeing everyone at the Slon Cafe tonight... be sure to pass the word along to any of your friends who might wish to join the fun!
