We have eight very friendly groups that schedule their events during the weekdays.
Members are always welcome to organize and start activities and groups! Simply contact the Activity Coordinator to do so.
We also have a Facebook group that is only accessible to our members.

World Cuisine
Welcome to World Cuisine.
If you enjoy cooking, we will be happy to meet you once a month, to share recipes, discover new flavours and have fun in the kitchen!
Every 3rd Thursday of the month from 10am to 1pm
Explore Oslo
Visit interesting places in and around Oslo with us! In the past, we have had tours of the Oslo Opera House, Vigeland Sculpture Park, National Galleries, Freia Chocolate factory, and even the local grocery store for those who are new to Norway. We pay for ourselves (lunch, traveling costs, entrance fees, etc.) and split any costs for guides when applicable. Every 4-6 weeks, depending on availability.
Book Group
We choose our book from a variety of genres and meet on the 2nd Friday of each month from 10:30am to discuss. We meet in local cafes.
Books up for the first trimester 2024 :
The Singapore Grip by J G Farrell
Mornings in Jenin by Susan Abulhawa
Lucy by the Sea by Elizabeth Strout
Knitting Group
Think it’s just for old ladies? Think again. Come along for a knit and a natter and maybe make something while you’re at it. All levels welcome! Bring your knitting or other handwork. Meet in coffee shops.
Norwegian Conversation
Do you want to improve your ability to speak Norwegian and practice your skills? The course is suitable for those who already have a basic knowledge of Norwegian and want to practice using the language more actively. The course will be organized as a "language cafe" with interesting discussions over a cup of coffee.
From January 15, 2024, We meet every 3rd Monday of the month at 10:30am
Mahjong
This Chinese tile game, played around the world, helps keep the brain sharp. It involves collecting tiles to complete “hands”. Beginners and advanced players are welcome. No prior knowledge of Mahjong is needed. It is a very friendly, welcoming group of ladies! We meet at member’s homes every Wednesday from 10am - 2pm.
German Group
Join us for German conversation on the last Tuesday in the month. For intermediate and advanced students.
French Group
Parlez-vous français?
Come improve your French speaking skills or help the group if you are already fluent. For intermediate and advanced students.
