Not Quite a walk in the park – 2020

If you need to get out and get a bit of exercise or you need to stay in and stay safe – the on-line treasure hunt with the theme of Slottsskogen can still be enjoyed.

Here are the treasure hunt questions.

Centenary Dinner

The Anglo-Swedish Society of Gothenburg will celebrate it’s 100th anniversary in style and with as many friends as possible. Therefore, we will wait until social gatherings are safe again before celebrating our 100th. Watch this space!

The Gothic Pillar Hall (Pelarsalen) is one of Gothenburg’s most beautiful and exclusive premises. It has been the most important party and ballroom locations for Gothenburg Society.

ELB(A) English Language Book club

Our book club has a MeetUp page MeetUp.com/ELBexA/. We have moved out meetings on-line so that we can continue to meet and discuss good books. We meet on the third Tuesday of the month starting at 18:30. There are usually about 8 to 10 people at any one meeting. Some people have discovered that they prefer to meet on-line and members who have moved away from Gothenburg can now still participate.

We have a summer recess and begin again in September.

The 2020-2021 ELB(A) booklist is here!
