Pub Quiz

Today (Mon 29 Feb), 21:00, Café The Crown, Gedempte Zuiderdiep 2

This year is a special year: A leap year! A leap year brings many traditions with it. For example, women have to ask men to a ball. In Scotland a man gets a fine when he refuses a marriage proposal from a woman. There are many more fun facts about leap years.

Therefore we decided to organize a pub quiz! There we will not only test your knowledge about leap years, but also more traditional pub quiz facts. Come join us on the 29th of February!

Borrel

Wed 2 Mar, 21:30, De Tapperij

Karaoke Night

Mon 7 Mar, 21:00, Café de Kachel, Zwanestraat 3

We’ve organized a Karaoke night! Come to sing your lungs out or to look at the people willing to do so on stage and have a couple of drinks. Of course the people who sing the most extraordinary songs and do the best will be rewarded!

Internationalisation Working Group Members

The working group Internationalisation is engaged with defining a plan for involving international students within Cover. What can we do for them and how can we arrange this? How can we involve them without pushing to much? On the other hand, how do we make sure our current (Dutch) members are not forgotten in the process of internationalisation? The goal is to create a report about these matters and present it at a GA.

This working group is looking for an additional international member. So if you want to work together with a few people on defining how Cover should manage internationalisation and develop (new) ideas on how to integrate international members, please send an email to extern@svcover.nl with a short motivation. Deadline: 6 Mar.
