Upcoming Activities, Outings & Monthly Meetings
The IWC is a very active group and many events and activities are planned each month. Here are a few examples of what is coming up this summer.
Diva Outing June:
CASTLE NIJENHUIS IN HEINO
Nijenhuis is not only a beautiful manor house with lovely gardens but also a museum containing the art collection of Dirk Hennema. The ever-changing exhibition space includes paintings, drawings, sculptures and applied art from many periods and cultures.
Diva Outing July:
VAN NELLE FABRIEK, ROTTERDAM
The UNESCO World Heritage Site Van Nellefabriek was designed and built in the 1920s on the banks of a canal in Rotterdam. With its striking steel and glass facade, it’s an icon of 20th-century industrial architecture, an ‘ideal factory’, open to the outside world, and in which daylight provided pleasant working conditions.

Monthly Meetings
IWC Amsterdam meetings take place, as a rule, on the first Tuesday of the month, but occasionally they are held the following week. They occur each month from September to May. We meet at 10:00 in the historic Koninklijke Industrieele Groote Club on Dam Square.
We start with tea or coffee and chat before the meeting begins. There are assigned members looking out for new members at every meeting, so if you are new, they will welcome you and introduce you to other friendly women in the club. At 10:30 we assemble in the Groote Zaal to listen to our guest speaker. After the meeting, from 12:00 to 12:30, the IWC offers you a glass of wine or a soft drink. Members then often meet in small groups and head to lunch in the “Rienstra’s Eetzaal” Restaurant of the Koninklijke Industrieele Groote Club, or to one of the many restaurants nearby.
Dress code: Smart casual: the KIGC does not permit trainers of any style.
Please note: There is a €10 fee for all guests wishing to attend a meeting.
Directions: from Centraal Station, walk down Damrak to Dam Square. The Koninklijke Industrieele Groote Club is opposite de Bijenkorf and to the left of the Gassan diamond shop.
