It is hard to imagine the summer is already coming to an end. Some of you may have been away, many have stayed in the Netherlands due to corona.

We would like to invite you to a Welcome Back Coffee to meet again and catch up after many months. It will be held on Wednesday September 15th at 14:00 in Voorburg.

2 cups of coffee or tea and a choice of cheesecake or apple pie will be served. Any other consumptions will be for own account.

The terrace is open, but covered, so even in case of cool weather, we can still sit outdoors.

Members, more details in your mailbox. Interested but not yet members, send us a PM!

Looking forward to seeing you!

On Wednesday, 1 September we plan to have lunch at Restaurant River in Voorburg.

Dear Ladies,

How would you like to admire 1500 beautiful butterflies? Enjoy watching exotic birds, gekko’s, turtles and more? All whilst feeling like you are walking through a Middle American paradise?

The PWC invites you and your family to join them for a fun afternoon outing to “Vlinders aan de Vliet” at Leidschendam on Thursday August 19th.

Afterwards join us for a delicious lunch at Het Eiland van Ome Nick in Voorschoten, where we can chat and share our adventures.

Dear Ladies,

Come and enjoy a relaxed PWC Leisurely Lunch at Werelds beach restaurant in Scheveningen on Wednesday, 4 August.

Hopefully the weather will be kind and we will be able to sit outside on the strand but if not Werelds has plenty of indoor space to accommodate us. Who fancies going for a bungee jump or a twirl around the SkyView at the end of The Pier afterwards?!

Interested? Send a PM or check the email about this event.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Cost to members is free though do be aware there maybe a collection at the garden.

Look forward to seeing you there!

Dear All, please see below a message from our PWC president:

"At the moment due to recent Covid-19 regulations we are still unable to resume the normal social activities of the PWC.
I hope that these regulations will soon change and we will be able to move around a bit more in December and socialize once again .
So fingers crossed that the numbers of people getting Covid-19 goes down.

In writing this I still don’t know what the coming months will hold for us all.
I personally look forward to seeing all of you in the The New Year and hope with it we can all enjoy a new and prosperous beginning.

Please stay safe and healthy."

Dear All,

Unfortunately the rules for going outdoors have changed again for a couple of weeks and it impacts the organisation of our events. We had started the Mahjong again, but that has to stop for the coming weeks.

Stay safe and healthy.
