Fastelavn er mit navn, boller vil jeg have, hvis jeg ingen boller får, så laver jeg ballade……!

Fastelavn is a traditional Danish celebration, which has its origins in an old heathen custom. It is a carnival much loved by children who get to dress up in costume and to hit a wooden barrel specially made for the occasion and decorated with black cats.

Please join us at Nordic House at 3pm on Sunday 19 February for Fastelavn this year. Children can come dressed up if they wish.

The children will hit the barrel first, then we will all enjoy tea, coffee and Fastelavns buns.

The Danish Biometric Passport Mobile Unit will be in Perth on Thursday 20 October to  enable Danish citizens in WA to renew their Danish passports in accordance with the new biometric guidelines.

To make an appointment, please contact the Danish Consultate in Perth.

At the AGM 13th August Nina stepped down as treasurer but unfortunately no one has come forth to take over the position.

Nina has kindly agreed to continue on an  interim  basis  until  1st  November when she is going away on an extended holiday and no longer will be able to do the job as treasurer.

The   task   is   not   an   onerous   one. Someone with flair for numbers and basis computer skills will be able to do the job without any problems. Nina is on  hand  to  provide  the  new  treasurer with a throughout handover and advice. The committee can also provide support and help to the role.

It is vital for the Association to have a treasurer  so  please  consider  if  this  is how you can contribute to the Association and, if so, please contact Nina on 9245 8768 with your nomination, questions or queries.

Thank you to the members who came to the AGM 13th August. It was a lovely afternoon shared.

A date for the Swedish Club Christmas Bazaar has yet to be set.

Sunday 21st August was the date set for our busy bee. The weather was not particularly friendly but some garden work and general house work was completed. Thank you to the members who turned up to help.

Please note that all future credit card payments will be subject to a surcharge of 2% to cover bank fees.

Your library is looking good after its overhaul and it is ready and waiting for you to use it.
