Guided Tour of the Swedish Customs Museum Date: Sunday May 20 at 1pm http://www.tullverket.se/museumThe Customs Museum offers plenty of exhibitions about the history of customs in Sweden. Of course, when it comes to customs, it tends to be the smuggling that is interesting, and the museum focuses much of its efforts on smuggling and anti-smuggling displays. ESCC members are invited to take a cost-free guided tour in English. After the tour, Toni Olander, who is also the customs expert for Buttrick's, will give some modern day updates about declaring goods from non-EU countries. Date: Sunday May 20 Time: 13:00 Place: Alströmergatan 39 Kungsholmen www.hitta.se/karta?ref=start#var=Alströmergatan 39 Stockholm&sm=6¢er=1626530:6581591&type=streetvie Please sign up in advance with

********************************************************************************************************************************** Not Your ”run-of-the-mill” Vocabulary Event -
Thursday June 14th On a suggestion from Valerie Olsson at our April 1st ESCC Board meeting, a new event started to take shape ….let’s call it .. ”Unusual English Words”. The idea is that everyone who comes, brings along 5 words you consider interesting and a bit out of the ordinary. An on-line laptop computer will be in place in case we get in too far over our heads ……. but hey…………………… isn’t that part of the fun?! Participants do not at all have to be language professionals or native English speakers. The emphasis is on the total group’s “collective wisdom”. Peter A. Miller will be running the event. So start collecting you 5 “candidate” words and please sign up for this group participation, free activity with refreshments! The date: Thursday June 14, 2012 The time: 6:00pm to 8:00 pm The place: ABF House (ABF-huset) Sveavägen 41 (exact room on sign-up) Sign ups: via e-mail

*************************************************************************************************************************************** The ESCC was founded in 1979 and is based in Stockholm. It is focused on the cultural and social needs of Sweden's English speaking community. While the majority of our members are from the United States of America and the British Commonwealth, we welcome anyone who wants to participate in cultural or social activities where English is the spoken language. Despite our diverse backgrounds, we see the most important aim of the club as being to celebrate the "ties that bind us", namely, our cultural and linguistic heritage. |
