The autumn edition of the WNS newsletter is here, containing details of our autumn programme, including our AGM in two weeks’ time with food from a new Scandinavian eatery in Newport, fascinating talks on a resistance fighter’s escape from the Nazis, international football between our two countries, and an international conference on Scandinavian history coming up at the Norwegian Church in Cardiff.
The highlights:

- Sat 26 Sept, 1 pm and 4 pm: Ellie Sømme tells the remarkable story of her father’s escape from the Nazis.
- Wed 30 Sep, 6.30 pm: A screening of the film ‘Alt for Norge’ which recounts the remarkable story of the runaway success of Norway’s national football team in 1990 that changes the country forever.
