Pub night at The Featherston, this Thursday 29 July, 6pm onwards.

The committee has decided to try out a new format for our pub evenings. Rather than having it after our committee meetings on the first Monday of the month, we will have separate pub evenings at different locations throughout the year. We are aiming for 4 pub nights per year.

This Thursday, the 29th July, is the first one out. Please do come along and have a drink or two with us - it's the perfect chance to practise you Swenglish :-) We will meet you at "The Featherson" from 6pm onwards. Look out for the Swedish flag!

Where: The Featherston Bar and Grill, Cnr Featherston & Johnston Street

When: Thursday 29 July, from 6pm onwards

Wallander on UKTV this Monday at 8.30pm

For the next 3 weeks those of you who have UKTV will be able to watch Wallander on TV. The series are filmed in Sweden, but with English speaking actors.

"Kenneth Branagh stars as Kurt Wallander, a flawed but deeply human detective, in these three terrifying tales set in the dramatic and beautiful landscape of southern Sweden.
Based on the award-winning Wallander novels by Henning Mankell."

Svenskkul News: School holiday!

It's the end of Term 2 and, just as other NZ schools, Svenskkul is taking a well deserved break.

As of next term Svenskkul will only run every 2nd Tuesday. We are a really small school group this year and as some families are only able to join in every 2nd week we have decided to only run on these weeks. Dates for next term is: 27/7, 10/8, 24/8, 7/9, 21/9

But, don't forget our Sunday events! Our first one for next term is scheduled for Sunday 1 August, when we will go to Te Papa. For more information check out Svenskkuls Event Blog or contact Eva on eva@sweden.org.nz

New and old families welcome!
