IMPORTANT: Due to the current virus outbreak all ESC events are suspended until further notice!
Update, July 13:
We hope you are all keeping well and coping with the
unpredictability of Covid-19!
- Summer Outing
Our next scheduled event is the Summer Outing: a visit to
Kempen, with a 90-minute English guided tour at 2pm, followed
by a café visit, on Saturday, 22nd August.
The guide can only accept 9 people, with face masks and social
distancing.
Public Transport: Düsseldorf Hbf 13:09 platform 5, the RE10
travels to Kempen (once an hour) arriving 13:44.
A 5-minute walk, straight down Thomasstraße and left into
Burgstraße, takes us to the starting point: museum at the
former Franziskanerkloster at Burgstraße 19.
The café is “Café am Ring Amberg” (Vorster Straße 2) which has
an enormous selection of cakes – but currently closes at
17:00.
The hourly train back is at 17:15 (18:15, etc).
If you would like to come,
please let Susan know by email or phone after 17th
August, and provide your postal address and phone number, as
we have to give these to the guide and to the café, for
Corona-tracking.
- Autumn programme
We hope to issue the autumn programme in the second half
of August, as the level of restrictions at the VHS may be
clearer by then.
If the autumn meetings do go ahead, these are the dates we
are proposing: 12th and 26th September, 31st October, 28th
November, 12th December (AGM), with the theatre on Friday, 13th
November.
The numbers of participants will probably still be restricted, but paid-up
members will be given priority. And we suggest you bring
with you any water you need to meetings this autumn.
- Money matters
If the autumn programme goes ahead, we will propose
at the AGM that this year’s paid-up members, who want to
be members in 2021 too, get a discount next year of 7.50 €.
If the autumn should be disrupted by a second wave, then
we will adapt this plan again.
Some of you are still owed money back for the
cancelled theatre evening, Oliver. It would help if you
could bring your tickets to the next event, otherwise we
will ask you to sign a receipt for our book-keeping.
Keep well and hope to see you soon,

Armenia and Georgia – early Christian countries
Saturday, 23 March 2019, 17:30h
Peter von Kapri shows us the stunning monasteries, churches and cathedrals, amongst the oldest in the world, perched on mountain and hill tops. The scenery of the Caucasus is impressive, from Mount Ararat towering majestically over the skyline of Yerevan, to the gorges of Northern Georgia. Learn more about the wild and intriguing history of these former Soviet states, homelands of Christianity and European culture surrounded by Muslim nations, and now striving to join the EU.
