Dear Gyrini,
We would like to give you a new update regarding the Corona virus. First of all, since the government stated that all gatherings are forbidden until the 1st of June, all regular borrels on Wednesday and Friday have been cancelled until then. This also means that the Gyrinus room will be closed until the 1st of June.
Furthermore, all activities organized by committees of Gyrinus that take place before the 1st of June have also been cancelled. Activities that are planned after the 1st of June will still take place, unless stated otherwise. Before the new measures, we told you that we were trying to find new dates for those activities. Due to the new measures, a lot more activities have been cancelled than initially thought. Therefore, it will not be possible to reschedule most of the activities. We are looking at possibilities to let the activities take place in a different way. Naturally, we will keep you updated about this!
In addition, we would like to point out the sites of the Dutch governmental and the RIVM again regarding the Corona virus. Please visit those at: https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/actueel/nieuws/2020/03/23/aangescherpte-maatregelen-om-het-coronavirus-onder-controle-te-krijgen and https://www.rivm.nl/coronavirus/covid-19. The VU also has its own website that stays updated with new information: http://Vu.nl/coronavirus.
Finally, as stated before, the board of Gyrinus natans will be monitoring the updates and measures from the VU and the government and will try to keep you as updated as possible. If you have any questions, please feel free to send an email to ln.su1585432892niryg1585432892@ofni1585432892.

Dear visitor,

Just like that the month February flew by. Perhaps because of the many activities that we all did together, or just because February is the shortest month. We will never know. 

The only thing we do know is that March will once again is filled to the brim with awesome activities. To start this month of just right March 3rd the employee borrel will be held, with some free drinks and snacks for you. 

After this March 6th, de Tegenstelling will be like a kindergarten, seeing all the parents during the Parents Borrel. After this trip down memory lane, the Onderwijscie will organize a visit to the company IQVIA during the Company Visit to show us what our future might be like. To end this month full of fun on a high note, March 24th, the board information evening will be held and just like that we are already looking for our successors. 

Lastly, I would like to inform you all that our yearly band show Pure Music will be May 20th in de Tuinzaal. For more information look at the other side!

Kind regards,

Sander van den Ouden

Commissioner of Activities 2019/2020

After the January period with classes and the festivities of December, February is the month that will be just as busy, because it is filled with great activities!

Starting the month of, the Semi-Annual General Members of Gyrinus natans will be held, where we as the 67th board will give our policy update and give insights into our association. 

This is then closely followed by two great activities, namely the Anatomy Lecture, where there will be a live dissection of a seal, and the Karaokeborrel, where you can let your inner Singstar let loose. The Anatomy Lecture will start at 16:00 ‘o clock in D107 and will take approximately one hour, after which you can come to the Karaokeborrel in De Tegenstelling. Both activities are free and open for everyone, so come by!

Then on the evening of Wednesday the 19th of February you can enjoy a carefully picked selection of high quality whiskies with us. These spirits will all have a common theme: Islands. If you’d like to know how this theme will affect our line-up, come join us on this wonderful evening for only €10,-. Sign up now at www.gyrinus.nl/whiskytasting to claim your spot before all seats are filled!
