The board invites all members to a strategy assembly on Sunday, May 31, at 12:00 in BLS. The goal of the day is to discuss how we can further develop Bårdar Swing Club as a volunteer-run club and agree on 2–3 concrete initiatives that we can start working on already from the autumn.

As preparation for the strategy assembly, we would like to hear your input. Click here to answer our questionnaire. Your response is anonymous.

Agenda topics:

  • Social dancing: How can we create events that feel relevant and inclusive for all levels and dance styles, and that can further increase participation?
  • Club spirit: How can we strengthen engagement and ownership, so that the club becomes more than just courses and parties?

Let us know you’re coming by signing up here — and by the way, there will be waffles 🧇
