REGULAR ACTIVITIES AND SERVICES

Babysitting circle
Posted: 27 Oct 2009; Event date: on hold (need volunteer organisor)

Laure-Anne will be the coordinator for the babysitting circle. Details to follow. If you are interested, contact Laure-Anne on delftians@gmail.com.

The idea is that babysitting for another couple gives you points, while receiving babysitting takes points away from you.

Board games
Posted: 27 Oct 2009; Event date: as and when

If you'd like to host a boardgames nights at your home once in a while, come forward (send an e-mail to delftians@gmail.com). Doesn't matter what boardgame - it's all about breaking the ice (and winning, of course!).

Drinks
Posted: 27 Oct 2009; Event date: every other Thursday

This is how the group started. Drinks are every other Thurdsay in Delft, starting around 8pm. If you are a group member, you shall receive an invite a few days before the next drinks.

An evening of Dutch conversation
Posted: 28 Oct 2009; Event date: as and when

Susan and Joe host a night of Dutch conversations. The idea is that only Dutch is spoken (although we regularly lapse). All levels of Dutch proficiency are welcome. Some of the guests are 100% fluent, and others have just arrived. Bring your pocket Dutch/English dictionary in case you get stuck!

Photography outings
Posted: 27 Oct 2009; Event date: as and when

Donna organises outings for enthusiastic amateur photographers (digital or film) to hone their skills. Planned activities include field trips, gallery visits, discussions, encouragement and friendly critique (if desired).

Poker night
Posted: 27 Oct 2009; Location: The Hague, Jens' place; Event date: as and when

Casual poker night - big spenders beware: max losses are around 2 euros! Just a night of relaxed fun and a great way to meet other expats without the pressure of small-talk!

Pub Quiz
Posted: 27 Oct 2009; Location: Delft. Event date: as and when

A trivia quiz in English organised by The Delftians, for The Delftians. Great fun, and lots of drinking. Details of each one are announced to members through Evite.

Restaurant night
Posted: 27 Oct 2009; Location: Delft; Event date: as and when

Members regularly organise restaurant nights. If you want to set one up, let me know when you have booked the restaurants and I'll send an invitation to the group.

If you're going to one, only confirm if you are definitely sure you will come: don't leave the organiser with empty seats and an angry chef!

Squash
Posted: 27 Oct 2009; Location: Squash Delft Sports Centre (http://www.squash-delft.nl/), Sportring 3 - 2616 LK Delft; Event date: as and when

A relaxed evening of squash for amateur players. All levels, including beginners, are welcome. It's more about the chats and beer afterwards anyway. Contact Laure-Anne on delftians@gmail.com if you would like to be added to the squash list.
