Dinner, AGM and Pub Evening 25 April

Thursday 25 April! Keep that evening free!

Venue: Trows, Vesterbrogade 125, who have kindly let us borrow their back room.

The plan is:
6 pm: Pizza for those who would like to come and eat together.
7 pm: AGM
After the AGM: Socialise. And we open the back room for other guests.

If you want to come for pizza drop us a line at committee@southerncrossclub.dk We require a deposit of 50 kr to be paid by midnight Tuesday 23 April for those eating pizza. Details of how to pay will be sent to you when we receive your email. You'll get the 50 kr back, and in fact won't pay anything as the club will pay for the pizzas. The pizzas will come from Leo's and are Italian. We eat them in the back room at Trows.

AGM: If it suits you better come at 7 pm for the AGM. We'd like to know if you're coming, but you can also just turn up. You're welcome to send nominations for the committee. These and any motions to be taken up at the AGM need to be received at committee@woutherncrossclub.dk on or before Tuesday 9 April. New committee members would be very welcome. If you don't have time for that help to organise an event would also be welcome. But come to the AGM in anyway: you don't have to commit yourself to anything. We'll just be glad to see you.

Trows is a Scottish craft beer bar. Their motto: "Scottish Beers, Danish Hygge". We can take our own food in, but we're obliged to buy our drinks at the bar.

Looking forward to seeing you!

Simon
Club President

An Australian Queen

Hi

The Southern Cross Club would like to invite you to a celebration of HRH Crown Prince Frederik and HRH Crown Princess Mary becoming the King and the Queen of Denmark.

We will meet at 1 pm on Sunday 14 January 2024, at

Café Stefanshus, Stefansgade 22, 2200 København N

and together watch the festive occasion on the big TV screen.
The cafe serves drinks and food, so you can have a bite to eat or have lunch there if you like, and some of us intend to do that.
Members of The Southern Cross Club can get a beer/drink for free.
If there's enough members coming, we can get a separate room for ourselves.
We intend to stay there to about 4 pm, or as long as there is interest. This will also allow time for those going to the reception at the Australian Embassy.

This invitation is going out quite late, so please check on our website and/or on Facebook, for any possible late changes.
And we'd like to know in advance if you plan to attend, thanks.

To get there:

Happy New Year 2024

The Southern Cross Club wishes everybody a Happy New Year!
If you missed the NY fireworks at Sydney Harbour, or if you'd like to see it again, the ABC has it, here:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-12-31/new-years-eve-celebrations-australia-2023/103275332

It is spectacular, as usual. And this year, more of Sydney Harbour is involved, and not just the Harbour Bridge.
Enjoy! ... with or without champagne ...

Cheers
John

Pre Christmas Pub Evening, Bartof Cafe, Friday 8 December 6.30 pm

We're afraid there'll be no Christmas Party this year, but we will be meeting for a pre-Christmas pub evening. And if our treasurer comes the first drink for members may even be on the club.

The venue: Bartof Café, Nordre Fasanvej 46, Frederiksberg. It's just a few minutes walk from Fasanvej Metro Station.

I have tried to invite Santa along. As there's no email on North Pole I've written via Post Danmark. As all us Kiwis and Aussies know, Santa lives at North Pole. But Post Danmark keeps sending my letters to Greenland, so he doesn't receive them!

We hope to see as many of you as possible. Bring a bit of Christmas cheer. Make new friends and see old friends.

Bartof has a great choice of beers, not to mentions whiskey and such things. You can even get a bite to eat.

Looking forward to seeing you all!

Simon
President
