Thank you for the year & Have a nice summer holiday! ☀️ Placed on 6 July 2026

Now that a lot of you did have their last exams, the board wants to wish you all a very pleasant and well deserved summer holiday the coming weeks. At the same time, we want to thank you for the past year, either for being active or hanging around the Abacus room once in a while! Our year would not have been this great without you, and we can look back on a beautiful year.

Due to the holidays, the Abacus room will not be open anymore every day from 8:30 until 16:30. For some people the summer holidays did already start, although for others maybe not yet. Therefore there still might be some AirCo members opening the room now and then, but this is no guarantee. 

Furthermore, next week, from the 13th until the 20th of July the Abacus room is fully closed due to the renovations of Educafé. The Abacus room is fully open again from Monday the 31st of August.

We hope to see you again during the Kick-In (camp)!

Bibbidi Babbidi Boo - Board 58

Room may be closed on Friday 26 June Placed on 25 June 2026

From Friday the 26th of June at 00:00 until Sunday the 28th, a code red warning has been issued by the government. At the same time, the air conditioning of the Zilverling (and some other buildings) will be very limited, or maybe even not working at all. We ask you all to consider this when you choose to go to Educafé tomorrow to study/work/socialise.

There still might be someone of the board or the AirCo running the room during (a part of) the day, but we cannot guarantee that the room will be open for the whole day.
