Why Not Use the Clubhouse for
a Meeting or Event?
by Jan Essad and Sunita Menon
Did you know that the AWC Clubhouse is available to rent for events and activities,
even if that event or activity is not Club-related? If you are planning a party, a business
meeting or you know someone who is looking for a place for a function, this could
be the perfect space. Here is a little information about renting the Clubhouse.
AWC Member Rentals
There are two types of rentals offered to AWC Members:
1. Free rentals are available for events that are not-for-profit or a one-time activity, such
as a birthday party.
2. Paid rentals are offered for events that are for-profit or to promote a business at a
standard fee of € 40 for six hours plus € 20 per hour for additional hours, or € 90 for a
full-day event.
AWC Business Member Rentals
This rental is designed to support our Business Members. The rental fee is based on the
number of AWC Members and non-member attendees but will never exceed an amount of
€ 40.
Non-member Rentals
Non-members may rent the Clubhouse for a one-time activity or ongoing events. The rental
fee is € 50 for six hours plus € 20 per hour for additional hours, or € 100 for an all-day rental.
Refundable Deposit
For all types of rental, a refundable deposit is required. Members pay between € 50 and
€150 depending on the event, while non-members pay a € 150 deposit. Based on the condition
of the Clubhouse after the event, it will be determined how much of the deposit will
be refunded.
AWC and the Arts

Guided Tour of Femmes Fatales –
Strong Women in Fashion
“That little seamstress” is how the renowned
Coco Chanel was once disdainfully
described by her contemporary, Paul Poiret.
He targeted her because she was a woman,
but in fact he saw her has a major competitor.
Times have changed, and more fashion
houses are now run by women than ever
before. A perfect moment, therefore, for an
exhibition that focuses on strong women in
fashion. Femmes Fatales will be the first
exhibition in fashion history to focus exclusively
on female designers. Do they design
differently for women than their male counterparts?
What influence have they had?
What does being a woman mean in terms
of their creations? And what is their vision
for fashion?
The exhibition will include work by Coco
Chanel, Jeanne Lanvin, Elsa Schiaparelli,
Mary Quant, Vivienne Westwood, Sonia
