I'm looking to network a bit once I arrive, and I found this club on the net. Anyone a member of the club? Is it worth the membership cost?

Hi

I would recommend the ICON club, it is a very international club, and once you are a member, lots of activities are free. You can chose from Knitting, Mah-jong, Book Club, Painting, Sewing, and many more. The fees are very modest, I don't remember exactly how much it cost as I already paid mine last June for the whole year, but I think it is 400NOK

You can look up on their website on this link,http://icon-oslo.com. A lot of charity works also.
It is an easy going club, where new people are always welcomed.

Hope you will be one of us, :D

Best regards

hi,

this club does look very nice and friendly but it seems like most of the activities are in the daytime on weekdays! I have a full-time job so it looks like I wouldn't be able to participate in.. really anything from what I can see. Do you not have members with normal jobs?

Hi

I am sorry I didn't know you have a full time job,  then it would be a bit difficult for you to participate to the activities, I agree.

I think it is catered for wives/partners coming to Norway because of their husbands/partners' job. They usually don't work, so joining the Club is one among other ways for them to socialise and make friends.

Does American Club structured their activities differently? I wish you the best.
