We follow up on last year’s success of introducing a New Members’ Drink. We meet at the 1st. floor of Atmos Bar, to enjoy a glass of wine and some amuses bouches. This convivial setting will be ideal for old and new members to mingle and to get to know each other. New Members go for free, while we ‘Older’ members have to pay a small payment of €35 to OUSL to join the fun.
Do come for this fun event which is totally relaxed and convivial.
