Week 11-13 News

Dear Members,

Here are a few upcoming events that might be of interest to you;

1. Informal drinks evening tonight in the Three Tuns from 1830 onwards with honorary guests from Aarhus Business School in Denmark. All you have to do is show up. We hope as many of you as possible will be able to make it to our first event of the year!
2. There will be a Nordic Ambassador's Panel discussion just like last year on 23rd February 18-20 in D502 followed by a reception in the Senior Common Room with beverages and snacks provided. This event was a success last year, and we expect it to be even better this year, so don’t miss out!
3. For those who are interested in innebandy (floorball), we are going to organize a match against the LSE Floorball Society to be held soon. If you are interested please reply to this email with your name and INNEBANDY in the subject line. We will keep then keep you posted on when this play-off is going to take place.
4. The Danish minister of Employment is coming on the 16th March to host a debate on the Danish model of flexicurity; how it is relatively complex and among other things requires an active labour market policy as well as trust in both politicians and the social partners; whether the model can survive globalisation and a financial crisis; and if it is relevant for other countries. The debate will be followed by a reception.
5. A party involving Vodka is coming up soon. Be prepared. Be very prepared

Christmas Dinner Change of Venue

Dear Members,

Hope you are all very excited about our Christmas dinner tomorrow night, Tuesday 9th December 2008 at 19:30!

1) We would like to notify you of a last-minute CHANGE OF VENUE! Please make sure to forward this information to anyone who may not have e-mail access prior to the event!
We will be posting a notice at the old venue just in case.

New Location: High Holborn Residence Common Room
Address: 178 High Holborn London WC1V 7AA
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=178+High+Holborn&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF-8&z=16&g=178+High+Holborn

2) If you have not yet purchased your ticket, but would still like to go, PLEASE REPLY TO THIS EMAIL ASAP!
It will be difficult to guarantee anyone who has not bought a ticket, and the last thing we want to do is turn people away at the door.

3) Those of you who have yet to pay: Please locate a tall, lurchy, blonde who answers to the name Gustaf Ericson tomorrow. He is our treasurer and would love to tick you off his list of people to stalk.

Sorry for this last-minute confusion!

Your gallon of glogg in the yuletide,
