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.

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!
