The Southern Cross Club is a social club for Aussies and Kiwis living in Denmark.

Our goal is to provide our members with a much needed network whilst living so far away from home. We organise random get-togethers and annual events that bring us together as a community and help keep people informed about the news from Denmark and Downunder.

You can also find us on Facebook

We are currently not charging a subscription fee for becoming a member, so now's the time to jump in and become a member. Use the link below, send us an email request and we'll sort the rest out for you. Yes, it's that easy!

We would really like all members to get involved in the club and make it into something that is thoroughly enjoyable for young and old. Please feel free to contact us with ideas and events that you think might be relevant for the members.

Hi
You are all invited to Southern Cross Club's Historical Walk in Lille Hareskov on Sunday 25. August 2024.
This walk will be similar to last year's walk in Lille Hareskov.

Lille Hareskov is a forest which is several thousand years old. It has never been cultivated, and therefore it still contains a number of old stones, graves etc.

The walk will take us to see some old dolmen, which are graves dating back to the stone age, some "rillesten" which are stones with a groove cut into them, and also some old oak trees, including The Devil. And we will walk on the "Pig's Back".
I will be your guide and tell you about the old graves and stones etc. And we will show you some tools from the stone age.

The walk will take about 2.5 hours, and it will partly be in rough terrain, so bring sturdy footwear. And please wear clothes suitable for the weather.
The walk will finish at the Skovlyst Brewery, where we can have a beer, or a softdrink. The Southern Cross Club will offer a free beer/drink to all members.

We will meet at the parking lot on the Northern side of the Skovlyst Brewery at 14:00. Please be aware, that there is also another parking lot on the other side of the brewery, at Ravnehusvej.
The Skovlyst Brewery is located at Skovlystvej 2, Hareskovby, 3500 Vaerloese.
For more information about the Skovlyst Brewery, see www.bryggeriskovlyst.dk
If you use public transport: From Skovlyst there is less than 2 km to Hareskov station, and about 0.7 km to the nearest bus stop, bus 165. See Rejseplanen.

We hope to see lots of SCC members on August 25. You are welcome to bring your friends along too.
And we'd like to know in advance if you plan to attend, please send email to committee@southerncrossclub.dk Thanks.

On behalf of the committee
John

Hi Everyone,

ANZAC DAY, Thursday 25 April! Keep that evening free!

Venue: Trows, Vesterbrogade 125, who have kindly let us borrow their back
room.

The plan is:
6 pm: Gourmet Pizza for those who would like to come and eat together.
7 pm: AGM
After the AGM: ANZAC DAY: we remember, a few words, Anzac biscuits.
Then we socialise and open the back room for other guests.

If you want to come for pizza drop us a line at
committee@southerncrossclub.dk We require a deposit of 50 kr
to be paid by midnight Tuesday 23 April for those eating pizza. Details of
how to pay will be sent to you when we receive your email. You'll get the 50
kr back, and in fact won't pay anything as the club will pay for the pizzas.
The pizzas will come from Leo's and are Italian. We eat them in the back
room at Trows.

AGM: If it suits you better come at 7 pm for the AGM. We'd like to know if
you're coming, but you can also just turn up. New committee members would be
very welcome. If you don't have time for that help to organise an event
would also be welcome. But come to the AGM in anyway: you don't have to
commit yourself to anything. We'll just be glad to see you.

You can also pop in after the AGM, but we would like you at the AGM so we are
sure of having a quorum.

Trows is a Scottish craft beer bar. Their motto: "Scottish Beers, Danish
Hygge". We can take our own food in, but we're obliged to buy our drinks at
the bar.

Looking forward to seeing you!

Simon
Club President
