Kaleidoscope of European Carols, Sunday 13 December, 7.00pm

First of all I'd like to thank all of you who helped make our Christmas party, yesterday, such a success! What a great night - fantastic food, snaps and dance around the Christmas tree. It certainly helps to get into the spirit of Christmas.

And now, the next Christmas event, that you can not miss:

Carols by Candle light!

We need all the singers we can get, young as well as old. Please call Joanna (021-903 863) or email joanna@sweden.org.nz for more information.

As this event is on the actual Lucia day, we are putting together a small Lucia number, it will be great!

Bring a blanket and a picnic basket and come along.

This event is organized by what is now left of the European Forum, and we have participated with some Swedish Xmas songs for a few years now.

When: Sunday 13 December

Where: Botanic Garden's Soundshell

Time: 7.00 pm onwards – but go down earlier if you wish to secure that spot!

Svenskkuls event blog

As Svenskkul is in the midst of changes we thought it would be a good idea to set up an event blog - so new and old member can easily find where and when to meet up with us. Please take a look:

I think you may find some similarities :-)
