A warm Welcome Back
by Katie Schweitzer
13 Jan 2023. The Welcome Back Borrel was a lot of fun. For the current members, we conducted some club business including voting in the new members of the board, myself included, and then afterward we had snacks and drinks and met some new people as well.

We had a fun night (trying) to play pool!
by Dietrich Haas
12 Nov 22. TIC organized a Pool Night and for those being a bit more familiar with the topic, it was immediately clear that you do not have to bring your swim shorts.
In my case, I did not bring any talent either, but at least strong dedication to not embarrass myself by accidentally stabbing someone with the billiard cue – I succeeded in this!

2022 tíc Welcome Event @Dadawan!
by Dietrich Haas
10.09.2022. Every year you will realize with great surprise that the summer holidays are finally over, when there is a new TIC Welcome Event. A great chance to meet old and make new friends, to familiarize with the Tilburg community and to learn about the upcoming activities that are planned for the new club year.
Meet & Greet
So, holidays this year were over on September 10, when everybody was invited to the Dadawan restaurant – “Everybody” then meant about 50 members, including the potential ones.
Our Welcome Back Borrel had a big crowd!
04 Feb 2022. “If you missed TIC’s first-in-a-long-time-in-person-borrel last Friday evening, you missed a fun get together! I don’t know about you, but I was pretty starved for in-person communication and the borrel hit the spot for me! 🙂 ~ Anne van Oorschot

#FBF: Ugly Sweaters and a good borrel was had by all!
Next Sunday we’ll meet up again for our annual Ugly Sweater Borrel. For #FlashbackFriday, here’s a look at our “ugly” gathering from 2018!

22.12.2018. Once again, we had a great time socializing and snacking during our traditional Christmas borrel. This year we met at Cafe Bakker with everyone charged with wearing their best “ugly sweater.” It was interesting to see what our members’ ideas were of an “ugly” sweater.
Despite the overcrowding around the Korte Heuvel that we were expecting, it was pleasantly cozy in Cafe Bakker where members shared their happiness of starting the holiday season and discussing Christmas and New Year’s plans.
A borrel was the perfect way to bid everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
2021 tíc Welcome Event – Live again!
by Rochelle Buhr
25.09.2021. The tilburg international club (tíc) once again kicked-off another club season with its annual Welcome Event; this year at RAW Restaurant in the Spoorzone.
Once again, a great Welcome Event from the Tilburg International Club!
The afternoon started with a warm greeting, of course, by tic board members and an official welcome from Tilburg City Council member, Vice-Mayor Oscar Dusschooten. (more…)
#TBT Paradox borrel
Tomorrow we’ll be online again for another fun borrel/game night. For #ThrowbackThursday, here’s a look back at one of our borrels from 2014 at the Paradox! (Hopefully we’ll get back to hosting in-person barrels again soon!)

by Patricia Gonzalez. Confession time. I’ve lived in Tilburg for two years now, practically in the neighborhood of Paradox, and I profess to be a lover of all things jazz. Yet I had never been there until the night of TIC’s borrel. It wasn’t because I had never heard of the place. Paradox is a popular jazz venue among Tilburg residents and the non-profit foundation has been around for almost 30 years. Still, I had never gone. (more…)
“Beerophiles” gather… hilarity ensues
5 March 2021. by Essi Koskela. Unlike the several devoted beerophiles attending the tic beer tasting event, I was hesitant at first. My preference has settled in the plain pilsje and lager after years of empirical research, and I was not sure I was ready to challenge this concept.
The Experience
Unfooled by my prejudice, I set out to experience the selection of four local craft beers: a hazy landbier (Beerze Classic), IPA, a subtle triple (School Strafwerk), and a thick, rich porter (Engelbertus Zachte Heelmeester). Joining us online was our beer master, Hans from HetBierMoment. Thanks to tic, 4 beers + a beer glass were delivered straight to each participant’s door. That’s tic service at its best! (more…)
