We are delighted to invite you to the annual garden party, which, this year, is a special one: We are celebrating the 20th anniversary of our society! For 20 years now has the Oxford and Cambridge Alumni Society of the Netherlands connected people, minds and ideas, who have kept the spirit of Oxbridge alive even after leaving the universities. In order to celebrate this accordingly, we are hosting a garden party in the beautiful landscapes of North Holland. 

In addition to the inspiring conversations which will certainly take place, you will be offered delicious food and drink. A Mexican food truck will provide freshly made tacos on site, offering: 

• Nachos with homemade guacamole.
• Taco tinga de res: Tortilla with pulled beef in a mildly spicy tomato/chipotle sauce, and onion.
• Taco de pollo: Tortilla with marinated chicken strips with bell pepper and onion.
• Taco de champiñones: Tortilla with mushrooms in homemade bbq-sauce and dried onions (vegan).

The event location, which was kindly offered by one of our alumni, can be reached by bus from Amsterdam Centraal. If you are travelling by car, there is a chance to park your car close to the property. Please note, however, that both the travel by bus and by car involve a 10-20-minute walk to the house. If this is impossible for you due to accessibility reasons, please contact us at secretary.ocnl@gmail.com.

Families are welcome. This is a perfect opportunity to meet old friends, other alumni and a great way to enjoy a lovely summer day by celebrating our society!
