Lustrum
till
Come and join us on the lustrum of Cover.
What is a lustrum you said? Well, it's the celebration of an association's birthday every 5 years.
Since we are going to celebrate this in the most outrageous, extravagant and escalating way, we will celebrate this not for just 1 day, not just 3 days, but for a whole week!!!
We will soon start with a theme announcement somewhere soon, and from then on we will slowly leak drops of awesome information.
So hang on, it will be LEGEN...wait for it ...DARY!!!!
Bommen Berend
till
Every year, the city of Groningen celebrates The Siege of Groningen. This was a battle that took place in 1672, between Groningen and Bernhard von Galen, bishop form Münster. The bishop has as nickname “Bommen Berend”, due to his excessive use of bombs (Dutch: bommen). They celebrate this victory on 28 August, where they eat the “Groote Maaltijd”. This meal consists of sauerkraut, the bishop’s favourite meal, and a big meatball: the “Bommen Berend Bom”.
We also would like to celebrate this day, but perhaps leaving out the sauerkraut. Therefore we hereby invite you to a battle, where we have swapped the bombs with laser guns. This battle will take place at our beloved Zernike and you can come and leave whenever you want. Don’t forget that people can play dirty, so don’t wear your nicest clothes.

Groninger Dow Jones Party
To celebrate the opening of the Lustrum, we will have a Dow Jones party at Lola on the Monday night. During this epic event at a super fancy location, prices of the drinks will fluctuate depending on the supply and demand of that specific drink. For example: if everybody drinks beer, the price of beer will go up, but the price of another drink will go down. If nobody drinks wine, the price of wine will be very low while other prices might go up. So, buy at the right time to get the best drinks for the best prices. At this activity, we will be able to do what we have always wanted to: being able to influence the prices of our own drinks.

If you’ve lost all your dollars, don’t worry! You can always join a bachelorette party, get married in a lovely wedding chapel or take a nice picture with the Eiffel Tower.
Make sure you look Las Vegas worthy!

The Hangover
till
Location: Cover Room
Yesterday we had an amazing night in Vegas. With a lot of partying and fun casino games it has perhaps become pretty late. All this partying would probably have given you quite a hangover today. To make things a little bit better for you, we invite you to a so called "brakke brunch". We will provide tasty food and drinks so you can start the day with a smile, despite your possible hangover.

Nature Olympics
This day will be the birthday of Cover. Cover will become 25 years old! To celebrate this festive occasion, we will have an outdoor day at the Hoornsemeer. In the afternoon, we will have a tournament with multiple fun games at which you can win a fantastic price if you win with your team. After the tournament there will be a nice barbecue and a party. Of course, we will also take a special moment to dwell upon the fact that Cover just became 25 years old. We will see you there!

During dinner we will present the best photos that have been submitted for the photo challenge and we will announce the overall winner! Next to that we will have a fun game during the dinner. Since alumni are invited to this activity, there is also time to catch up with all your friends from back in the days.
