New comers enroll via our website and pay € 30,50, this is the first lesson and a goody bag. After the class you agree with the personal swim coach how to continue to obtain your final objectives. Enrolling is only possible via [www.your-personal-swim-coach.nl ](https://www.your-personal-swim-coach.nl/)hence a rvsp via meetup is not enough.

Café Libertas closes at 10:00 PM on Tuesdays. For anyone who wants to continue the evening, we can head to Café de Kroon for an after-drink. Café Libertas allows you to bring your own food.

Please bring as many colorful lights as you can wear — the more light, the better. It keeps us safe in traffic, and no wolf will mistake you for dinner.** \-\-\- As the year winds down, join us for a special evening hike filled with light, reflection, and a touch of adventure. Guided by candlelit lanterns, we combine the magic of walking in the dark with a cozy two course dinner at Beekdalhoeve Restaurant. The **€58 fee** includes a fancy 2 course dinner with multiple menu options, a guided night hike, and all candles, holders, and fluorescent light rods. We start at Oosterbeek train station at dusk and reach the "Heavenly Mountain" (Hemelse Berg), pausing briefly to reflect on the year. From there we descend to the "Origination Creek" (Oorsprongsbeek) and its mini waterfall, where we light our candles and symbolically let go of the past before walking under the waterfall for a refreshing moment. The trail continues quietly along the Nederrijn, passing the moonlit Doorwerth Castle. After 12 kilometres we arrive at De Beekdalhoeve for a warm and inviting dinner. Lanterns lit once more, we follow the river plains and the Wageningse Berg to Wageningen bus station, where the hike ends. From there it is easy to travel home (This is not a loop hike). https://maps.app.goo.gl/DUjuWW2yGp3C69fm7 **When and Where to Meet?** We'll meet at 17h at Oosterbeek train station!

Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Trying to escape her past, a young woman accepts a job as a live-in housemaid for a wealthy couple.

The Housemaid is directed by Paul Feig (A Simple Favor) and based on the first in a series of books by Freida McFadden. The film stars Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried, Brandon Sklenar, Michele Morrone and Elizabeth Perkins.
