Here is a welcome to prospective Albion members: welcome!

As you probably have read in the letter we sent you, this is the site of the Albion Association. We are also on Facebook and Hyves ofc, but this is the place where we post new events and important information 1st.

If you lost the application form or are already a student of English and want to become a member, then follow this link to the forms you can print, fill and send out.

Stay tuned for the book order form we’ll post here later this month.

You get a whopping 12.5% discount when you order @ Albion! (For members only and the amount you save on the 1st order is usually more than the admission fee!) So what are you still reading this for? Go sign up!

Here is The Angler 2010 Issue 4. It’s a bit tardy, but we hope you’ll love it anyways.

Tonight we play local sketches for local people. Lionsmanes Matthijs is our host for the evening.” Ol’ Gregg will be there to take care of our every needs. Bring your favorite “Lesbian Spank Inferno” tape and we might just watch it. There will be spam eggs sausage and spam for all.

This Tuesday night will be BritCom night. Enjoy. It’s dreadful, but quite short.

PS. If your name is not Anouk Broekhuizen (because then you would have spotted them all a mile away) and you can tell me all the references cunningly hidden in this post we will give you a little present.

“The Surfaders (your lecturer Evert van Leeuwen’s band) are playing live at De Vinger on Friday 23 April at 21.00. Bagijnestraat 25, Den Haag. Walking distance from the Central Station. After the band there will be a Surf-Punk-Newwave-Goth disco. Jan Frans van Dijkhuizen will record the show, so if you want to be immortalized on a live cd of instrumental surfrock, come and watch us play and make sure to make some noise. The admission price is 3 euros at the door. All Albion members who show up can sign up to get a free cdr copy of the live recording once it has been mixed. De Vinger does not have a regular doorman/woman, so if you are short of cash, there is the option to play doorman/woman during the concert (approximately one hour). If you play doorman/woman, you will get in for free and will be given a drink or two by the band while you are at the door.”

Who: The Surfaders (Gastonishing, Jonastronaut, and our own Evertigo)

What: The Surfaders LIVE and DJ set (surf, punk, newwave disco)

Where: Underground cafe De Vinger, Bagijnestraat 25, Den Haag (tussen het plein en het stadhuis, op loop afstand van Den Haag CS)

When: Friday 23 april 9PM

Tickets: 3 EURO

Gift: Attending Albion members will receive a free copy of the Live CD that will be recorded and mixed by Jan Frans van Dijkhuizen.

Also: Students who want to sit near the entrance won’t have to pay admittance and we’ll give them a drink for showing up. De Vinger is so small that you can see and hear everything from your seat near the door. Click the link to their Myspace page and check out their music.

Dear all,
