Newsletter September and October 2011
Dear members and friends,
as the summer slowly comes to an end, it’s time to get clubbing again… The last few months, as every year, have been more quiet relative to the rest of the year. However, the miserable weather together with our Cocktail Fridays did well to lift the summer spirit at the ESCB.
Between July and August, each Friday was Cocktail night! The drink of the night depended on the bar keeper, and while some drinks proved more popular than others, our members and guests seemed to enjoy this little injection of summer into the club. Another successful annual ESCB BBQ took place at the beginning of August. As usual, it was located in Bümpliz and even the weather cooperated to make the day great fun for everyone!
We have lots in store for the coming months. Frido and Eva will bring Oktoberfest to the club on the 7th of October! So, dust off your lederhosen and your schöne Dirndl. For anyone making the effort to dress up for the occasion, make sure you claim your free drink at the bar! The theme of the evening is definitely: “beer, wurst, pretzels, fun!” Just in time for Halloween, we will be carving scary pumpkins again this year. On Friday 21st of October bring your favorite pumpkin to our pumpkin carving event for a radical make-over. This event is great fun and popular every year, so make sure you don’t miss out!
Looking a little bit further ahead on the horizon, we will hold our AGM on the 11th of November. Make sure you come along to either have your voice heard (Premium members), or to find out what makes the club tick…
We wish you all a great end to the summer months, and look forward to a new season of fun!
Niklaus Gerber - ESCB President
