The Sheff Guide: September- October
Brought to you by MEI International: Delivering Substance with Style
September
It’s like the worst Sunday feeling ever when September arrives, the kids are kitted up in their uniforms, SBS Removals have moved all of the new tenants’ furniture in – all ready for a September term at University and work.
Once everyone’s settled, you’ll be ready for some Fun Lovin’ Criminals at Plug on 3rd September. You then have enough time to recover for 5th September, as it’s the BUPA Yorkshire Run. You can join Sheffield’s Dick (from Dick and Dom), Hugh Dennis (comedian), Tony Audenshaw (Emmerdale) and me – Sophie Mei. We’ll be raising money for the Alzheimer’s Society helping lead the fight against dementia – you can find out more here http://www.alzheimers.org.uk/
It’s always advisable to have a post-run treat and word on the street is that Sheffield designers Roc & Doll are having a sample sale where you can buy your designer goods on 10th October in Darnall (Sheffield’s shabby-chic Shoreditch).
You can even complete the look on 12th September at new bar – Alibi with their Mizani hair show by Toni&Guy in aid of Help A Hallam Child
Where art thou this month? As Hamlet is on at Crucible Theatre from 16th September – 23rd October – I’m going to see Mr. Hamlet opposed to Michael Buble’s Concert, which has already sold out at Hallam FM Arena.
Finish the month off on a buonissimo high as Fargate will be home to an Italian Market from 24th – 28th September.
October
No excuse not to be active this October as there is something for everyone from Chinese Pole at Greentop Circus on 2nd October to bopping at the Manic Street Preachers gig at 02 Academy on 6th October.
Even if you’re papa don’t preach you can still ‘say a little prayer’ at the Wedding/Civil Partnership showcase on 10th October at Sheffield Town Hall.
October’s always a funny month, as there’s not much on until Halloween and tinsel season strikes. Luckily for us Sheffielders however, October is jam-packed with the Magners Grin Up North Comedy Festival. We can have the last laugh with acts such as Jimmy Carr, Dara O’Brian and Sheffield’s very own Toby Foster.
Even closer to home, is the chance to find out about fostering in Sheffield, a service that is in great need of your support in order to be sustainable in helping care for young people. The Fostering Information Evening takes place on 13th October at Quaker Meeting House.
The one man who has a tan that I even can’t compete with is John Barrowman who will be performing at Sheffield City Hall on 14th October… there’s no business like show business…
Have a good couple of months and we’ll be back for the (deep breath) Christmas issue… I can hear the bells…
MEI Motto: September’s the new New Year for us big kids. SO get your dancing shoes on for a party workout in a Zumba (mixed) class or ladies can shake their bon bons at a Bellydance (women only) class at Sophie Mei Schools.
