As you know, Steve and Nicole are getting married on the 10th, and today is the deadline to RSVP them if you plan to attend the evening reception at 7pm in De Kroon, Nieuwstraat 18 1381 BC Weesp.

Next Saturday the 7th November, there is a Remembrance ceremony at the Nieuwe Oosterbegraafplaats cemetery in Amsterdam. This is the 70th anniversary of the ending of WW2, and there will be about 250 people in attendance, with choirs from the British and Polish schools singing. Do try to support it. John R and myself will lay a wreath on behalf of CADS.

On the 20th November the next CADS meeting will be an evening reception 1730-1930 at the UK ambassador’s newly refurbished residence in Den Haag, followed by an optional dinner at the Carlton Ambassador hotel which is 5 minutes walk away. Invitation will be sent out shortly. Please reserve the date.

On Tuesday the 1st December, the NBCC invites CADS members to attend their annual dinner at the IGC in Amsterdam. Details and registration are here.

Finally, there are just 2 Xmas Ball tickets left. Please let me know quickly if you want to buy these, otherwise we will return them for sale to those on the waitlist.

Best wishes,

Mike
