Apparently there is space for a few more, so if you haven't responded yet but would like to go, please let me know by Friday March 6^th.

I’ve had some feedback from students and postdocs that they don’t get much chance to interact with other WMSG members at the annual meeting, hence a social event is in order. What better way to break the ice than over a cocktail in a bar whose entire interior, including the glasses, is made from 100% pure clear ice from the Torne River? The Absolut Icebar Stockholm (http://www.absoluticebar.com/web/Hem.aspx#/Hem/About/Stockholm/) is located in downtown Stockholm, and a 40-minute visit including a warm cape, gloves, and a vodka cocktail of your choice served in an ice glass costs SEK 180 (roughly 18 euros) or SEK 125 with a virgin cocktail, including VAT. 

I will book a session for Saturday May 1^st at 19:30, which can take up to 60 people. While this is directed at WMSG members, all are welcome, but do encourage non-members to sign-up for the WMSG (particularly student members; study group membership is free for us!). 

As we are limited to 40 minutes at the ice bar, I propose wandering down to Glenfiddich Warehouse No 68 in the old town afterwards (about a 20 minute walk), which seems to have a large selection of whiskeys and beer, including several Swedish microbrews. Those who have no interest in -5 degree Celsius surroundings are welcome to just meet us at the Glenfiddich Warehouse afterward!

Hope to see you in Stockholm,
Shannon
