Dear all,

Unfortunately the current situation regarding the covid makes it hard for us to organize events so we have to cancel a few things and restrict participants for others.
Remaining events will be for members only and we hope to be able to open up again our activities in a not too distant future!
For now, take care, stay safe and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year with better prospects for all of us.

Dear All, please see below a message from our PWC president:

"At the moment due to recent Covid-19 regulations we are still unable to resume the normal social activities of the PWC.
I hope that these regulations will soon change and we will be able to move around a bit more in December and socialize once again .
So fingers crossed that the numbers of people getting Covid-19 goes down.

In writing this I still don’t know what the coming months will hold for us all.
I personally look forward to seeing all of you in the The New Year and hope with it we can all enjoy a new and prosperous beginning.

Please stay safe and healthy."

Stay safe and healthy.
