January 15 National Gathering (CvA) in Zoetermeer

Three times a year the boards of the Netherlands get together to decide on important issues concerning all chapters. Meanwhile the other members get to have a lot of fun! Workshops, lectures and activities are organized, and all members have lots of opportunities to get to know each other and exchange ideas. This time the CvA is held in Zoetermeer, with the theme 'Bubbles at work'. There are even activities in English: the World Trade Game will be played, and in the afternoon there are sports activities like climbing. More info and registration can be found on their website (in Dutch): http://www.cva2011bruist.nl/. To go there as a group, Sander has offered to coordinate who is going, so we can carpool and have dinner together afterwards. So, if you are going, sign up on the website, and contact Sander by email.
