Happy New Year Den Haag!

This year’s NewYear’s Borrel will take place on January 5, 2010 at the ‘Pasta Company’ in Scheveningen Harbour. We are looking to make this a joint EuropeanPWN/Connecting Women event members & all guests are welcome! The official time of the borrel will be from 7-9 pm. It will include drinks and nibbles.

So far the cost of the EPWN Hague Borrels have been around 10 euro a person. Those who drank more have been kind enough to pitch in extra. Since this is a special evening to celebrate the New Year, we have made a special arrangement with the PastaCompany.

This time the cost will be 12,50 euro per person – this will include a glass of bubbles to toast, tapas and one more drink. You pay this upon arrival to either Erika or Karin and you will be given a token, which you can use at the bar for your second drink. Anything after that will be at your own costs.

We know that the tapas will be quite substantial, however, you are most welcome to stay for dinner afterwards. Do check out their website www.pastacompany.nl for their menu.

The Pasta Company is located in the Harbour of Scheveningen, and although the address is Dr Lelykade 24a, for those of you who don’t know Scheveningen well, it’s best to go to the Schokkerweg and then take the stairs down to the restaurants;the Pasta Company is the last one in the row, after Het Brouwcafe, De ZouteZoen, De Dagvisser, Lemongrass and then the Pasta Company. There is plenty of free parking at the restaurant and if you are coming by public transport, take tram 11 to the Duinstraat stop.

Please make sure you register your attendance via the EuropeanPWN website (click on register above this post) or send an email to Erika at erika@bothassistanceandsupport.nl.

Please de-register if you are not able to make it after all; we need to confirm the number of attendees with the Pasta Company 48 hours in advance.

We are looking forward to seeing you all and have a sparkling evening!

Warm regards,

Erika Both & Karin Bosscher
